Hiya, I've got a 2000 plate Golf GTi 1.8 turbo (AUM engine code) and it's just had the cambelt and headgasket done on it, just got to try and start it today and when the battery is connected the fans come on straight away without any keys in the ignition and then when you try and start it nothing happens, I.e no lights on the dash, no cranking or anything...I'm stumped?!
Does anyone have any ideas? Cars been off the road for a few months now I'm getting desperate!!

Cool, will do, had to go to work today so had to leave it, hopefully will find the problem before work tomorrow otherwise it cycling in again!

Finally got round to checking the connections, earth connections are ok, battery is connected up correctly, still the same result.
Checked all the fuses they're all in tact, I'm lost!!

found this, is the fuse on the far left the culprit? 110A with the black wire leading in>
