Ok, I had another go at this today and managed to get it started. Took the the key out shut the door and got back in the car and it started once again first time. However I locked it, unlocked it and tried to start it again and got nothing? So it seems to work as long as it stays unlocked...

Cheers martyn

Not really mate no, I went out this morning and turned the key and it started? I will probably do the same tommorrw morning and it wont start. Its an intermittent fault but has got worse, I had it running for about half hour earlier and I noticed a strange click/ticking noise coming from the...

Is it possible to get to the starter motor from the top of the engine without removing heatsheild?

No that didn't work either, still have the same problem.

I have got what I need to repair it mate just finding the time to sort it out now, Hopefully will have chance tomorrow afternoon. I will report back and let you know

It's not that tight so there is a bit of cable to play with, it runs into a plastic trunk which is all taped up

Thanks mate, upon closer inspection I have found a frayed cable from the battery earth - Does anyone know what this cable does? Could this be causing starting issues?

Update Think I may have found the problem - As you can see above the cable coming from the earth has frayed, looks as though it has been rubbing on the metal. Does anyone know what this cable does? and how easy it is to repair?

Where abouts does the Battery earth cable go? Following on from this thread - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?665749-Can-anyone-help-please Wondering if I have disturbed it when I replaced the battery.

Changed the battery because it's old and my trip computer keeps re-setting itself, I turn the key get all the lights on the dash. Then they all go off except the "stop" and "battery" light. I then get a click from the engine bay and nothing ........

Yeah thats what I thought mate, Well today I have removed the fuses and relays and cleaned them all with electrical contact cleaner. Still will not start

Did you manage to sort this?

The map sensor is not in the best condition, It broke and i have glued it back together. Could this be causing the problem?
