I am in desperate need of some help. Drove into work this morning and the car completely died. No power to anything. There is no noise from the ignition switch when I turn it.
Battery has power and fuses look ok. Where can I start?

Thanks in advance
Tom

Manual. I took the instrument cluster at the weekend to add a fog light bulb. Could this affect anything?

Ok, feel like a complete idiot! Looks like one of the connections on the battery was loose. Not to self, always tighten up!
