    Got power but nothing happening apart from fuel pump when I turn the key.
    The ignition light doesn't dim - there is no clunk or anything from the starter motor. Tried rocking it in gear.

    My fault for sauntering :(

    has it been running? stopped for a break? sounds like classic hot start if so.

    somewhere near the battery you will have a few wires going into a little box ( relay ) about 4 wires usually the hot start relay, if you can see it try earthing it or just put pressure on a few wires and see what happens, i will try and get a picture of mine unless others can upload one quicker -
