ok if the ignition is on do you have any lights...if not battery.

if you have lights on, can you here the fuel pump ticking slightly in the boot?

if you have the lights on, can you here the starter motor ticking slightly in the engine bay?

try hitting the starter motor, also check the leads are ok to the starter motor,

check the body to earth connection

check the battery leads as well :)

Hope that helps
