Z broken down - first time ever!

Well, the most reliable car I've owned has now broken down on me! Not sure I'll be at Coventry if I can't get this sorted.

 

Symptoms:

 

Engine won't crank - won't even try.

All the dash lights come one.

Fuel pump primes.

Relays click.

 

Nothing! I am wondering whether my immobiliser has shat its pants. It would normally disable the starter and the fuel pump. Fuel pump pump is clearly audible.

 

I have no idea on the wiring of the immobiliser or indeed where it's actually fitted as it was fitted 12 years ago.

 

Answers on a postcard please.

    Relay could be faulty like ZNUT said, even if you hear it click.....i'd go for measuring first before buying parts.

    How much was the new starter motor?

     

    Brand new Nissan one came it at around 330

    The starter pinion started sticking out intermittently a few years ago and then stopped. It's time it was replaced anyway.
