There's an 80 amp fuse the the black box under the bonnet. To remove it, if it's blown, you have to get to the underneath of the fuse box to get the the screw holding the fuse in place.Comment

Well it just appeared that I was not listening hard enough, the clicking was there, I just hung on for a bit after the glow plug light went out then turned the key... spot on! Just not knowing what I was doing as this is my first surf.Comment

As you have a 2.4, wait a little longer after the click and you should hear a warning beeeeep! I always wait for this beeep and never have starting troubles.
