Hi and thanks for all the replies. Latest update is that it worked a few times and now dead again.

So the main point of investigation is that when the key is moved from position 1 to 2, there is no change in the dials on the dash. When it moves to 2, you can hear the clicking in the gear box. I removed the cap of the Starter motor relay and tried to press the clip to trigger the starter. It cranks but engine does not fire up.

After a bit of struggle I did manage to remove the ignition switch. Maybe a dead end, but will try to swap it and see if it helps to start it up.

ANy other suggestions before I get the switch are welcome.

Hope it does not end being some loose cable somewhere that stops the ignition circuits at position 2 come alive?
