Hi everyone, I wonder if i can call on your experiences............
My 1.2 16v Breeze was left at my parents for a few months. The new battery was left in the car but the negative lead was disconected. I started it every couple of weeks and it always fired up first time. I decided to put some rent on it and use it a bit, so i picked it up from my parents. It started and drove perfectly. I parked it outside my house while i arranged the car on my driveway. 10 minutes later i went out and it wouldn't start. I left it for sometime and went back to it and it fired up ok. Its starting has been very hit and miss and now won't turn over at all. As i mentioned, the battery is new (checked voltage), connections ar good, new crank position sensor and this morning a brand new starter motor.............i turn the key and nothing. I do hear a feint click from the right hand side of the engine. When i turn the key to the crank position the EML doesn't flash. I have just had the thought of bypassing the igniton circuit by turning the ignition on and put a cable between the posititve side of the battery on to the starter terminal.
Can anyone give me a clue of what could be going amiss???
Many thanks in advance.

man walks into the doctors and says "doctor i have a 2ft hole in my bum)
doctor replies puzzled "hoe the hell have you done that son?"
the man shamefully replies "i got raped off an elephant"
the doctor says "but an elephants penis is long and thin"
the man dropped a tear and said "IT FINGERED ME FIRS"
