is there nothing as in NOTHING or is there nothing as in it wont crank or cranks but wont fire 
nothing with NOTHING (no lights, nothing) battery, ignition switch, imobilizer (where fitted)
nothing as in lights but wont crank. Check; is the starter relay clicking when you go to crank it
(if yes) is the starter motor connected, check conections. All ok
hit starter with hammer and try to start, all good = your starter is sticking
hammer trick didnt work swap relay or check contacts on relay, pull starter off and inverstigate. 
(if no) why not... faulty relay faulty ignition switch imobiliser (where fitted), poor wiring in-between. take a look 
nothing as in starter turns but engine doesnt.
check starter motor and ring gear.
nothing as in cranks but wont fire.
Check fuel; (yes) is it blead properly (eg air in system)
(yes) check compresion or timing too in the same and very unlikely
(no) why not no fuel in tank (no) fill it up and bleed the system.
(yes) blocked filter? (tank pre, in line and banjo bolt gauze) all ok
(no) replace filter(s) and bleed system.
(yes) is your pump working
(yes) then you have fuel & compersion, (asume timing is right) the engine cranks and turns easly. rev it a bit and she should fire eventually....
(no) why not is it stuffed or is there just too much air in the system.

No go
I can come and have a look at it for ya if ya want? when will you be home? are you still in the same house? or give me a call if ya want might be easier!
she's alive, 
i run a wire from the starter solinod to the battery and she whirled over, so i guess the starter is fine.
So i have narrowed it down to the starter relay or the ignition but i don't think it is the ignition because i changed it and it did the same thing as it did before so it should be the relay.
Will change in the morning and see where i am then
