Clicking by the glovebox will be a relay more than likely.

Is it getting fuel? Check the plugs are getting wet.

It could be damp in the coilpack. So check around that.

A fuse or something like that hasn't blown has it? Could be something stupid like that

Oh right

Is Sean about?

On the injector rail there should be a valve that you can press in to check it's getting fuel. I'm not sure if yours has it but it might be worth a look.

Go through the fuses at the least

Compression test would be the best way to check but I'm guessing you don't have a compression tester

Yeah but if you have recovery then they might be able to take the car home.

If you've paid for recovery it shouldn't cost you more on the spot. Just do it when you leave if you can't find someone to come have a look.

Message Kev/Crana and see if one of those two can pop across to give you a hand
