Ok, now that all the fuses are in, etc. I have all lights, sunroof, etc.

I get in the car, hold down the clutch, turn the key, *click* no start. I can't do it more than once withing a 30sec timeframe or so, if I do, no sound at all.

The main ground is firmly connected, the fuses are all good... what's my problem exactally?

 

Oh, just an addition. Whenever I try and turn it over, all of the cars electrics go out. ... it's slightly confusing me...

 

Since you say all the other **** dies too, it sounds like a poor connection at the battery or starter. Clean all those connections and try again.

IF you wanna check your starter, (be sure it is in neutral) get a l;ittle jumper wire and connect the large battery terminal on the starter to the smaller terminal which is trigger. IF it cranks, you have a wiring/ignition/connection problem. IF it doesnt, you either have a problem in the FAT wire from the battery to the starter, or a bad starter.

 

The problem fixed itself... but there's still no running engine.

Any tips on getting this thing started Kevin?

 

IM a bit fuzzy on teh background of this thing. Has it not been running or what?
