Is it cranking over and will not start or just won't crank over at all/nothing when you turn key to cranking position??

If you follow the battery positive cable back to the engine, it'll take you straight to it-

Could be the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

nice 1 mate, i tried starting it this morning and there was no cranking, after playing around with all the wires i could see in the engine under the seat, it started do you think it could be a loose wire
