you didnt take off that ground wire on the thermostat housing did you? when you changed the thermostat???

 

could be your starter or main relay.i had the same problem months ago with all the lights on the cluster but got nothing from engine bay.i checked the main relay and it was find.so unplug the starter and plugged it back and the car started.so i know the starter was bad.

 

i did remove the ground but was put back

regards main relay, is this the 1 in fuse box in right hand corner of engine bay ?

any pics of of what im looking for with the starter plug ? should i just unplug and plug back in, exactly what am i checking

 

car is still dead, checked for loose connections but all appears ok

any other specific fuse under dash likely to be cause ?

 

all fuses now checked and fine, cleaned thermostat earth just to be safe but still nothing, tried jump start but no luck

getting desperate now
