Tried bashing the dash and felt better (after reading similar post)
However Car still wont GO!

BEM, is a good place to start if it is not cranking, it is fused by the interior lamp fuse, Check that first then remove it and check some tracks may be burnt off.

I changed the main fuse in the engine bay as it had blown, it was the blue one in the middle of a line on the drivers side, are there any more under the bonnet
