Having some problems with the van just for a change!
I ran the van over the weekend and it was starting and running fine, even when starting from sub zero temperatures.
I drove about 100 miles on Monday, left the van overnight and then came to start it on Tuesday night and there was nothing!
All lights come on as usual, waited for the coil light to turn off but when I turn to the ignition stage there is a click (electrical relay I assume?) but the engine does not crank at all.
Battery was replaced recently so I am completely stumped!
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Pete

Could it be dead mans click from the starter motor?
The sound would come from the engine bay of course. Pop the bonnet and have someone try and turn it over whilst looking down in between the engine fan and the engine itself. If it does click, give it a crack with something. This trick might only last a couple of weeks, but you will know you need a new/reconditioned starter motor.
