Hi

I have just got in to start my MGZT and there is nothing.

All the radio etc works light don't go dim if you turn to start, there is no click nothing.

Any ideas please.

Petrol? Diesel? Auto? Manual?

My apologies I see it's a 190

, check the flylead is still attached to the starter solenoid & it becomes live when you try & crank it

Could very easily be the starter solenoid has burned out.

Not too difficult to replace if it is.

Hi thank you all.

I have it started now, what I done, was take out the battery from the car completely and then refixed it, and a way she went.

I was told this once by a mechanic for a Volvo I had and it worked so I thought why not, and worked again.

But thanks again.
