I have a 1991 'H' reg 205 which for the past 6 weeks has sat in my garage unused. The battery is fully charged. on trying to start the car today, there was absolute silence, no spark etc. Can somebody tell me what the problem could be as i need the car on Thursday to go on holiday? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Do your radio and lights work ?
I'd be looking at thinks like fuses and relays, especially to do with the starter motor, and check all the connections.
I presume this car is too old to have an immobiliser ?

There is just nothing when I turn ignition key. Where is the starter motor located? It could just be jammed although I did try rocking the car in gear.
