Nah nothing

Try cleaning the "trigger" wire on the solenoid,that is a common problem.
If its a stinking hot day it could be voltage drop,not enough volts getting to open the contacts of the solenoid.Simply shorting the main feed to the starter across to the trigger wire will start it.MAKE SURE PARK AND HANDBRAKE IS ON!!!!.
Ok will try that next. Done the old metal across the contact many a time. But there is not noise from the starter when you turn the key at all so i am think that somthing is not telling to to even try and engage.
Asi said you turn the key to start and all the lights on the dahs light up as normal but nothign else happens no noise nothing . No clicking Nothing
Next to check is imobiliser if fitted.
GOODLUCK,let us know how you go!!!
