Galaxy Mk2 1.9 Tdi Auto Won't Start.

Hi...me again. Had recent thread re auto box prob followed by injector. All fixed or so I thought. Parked up last night. Went to put car on drive...won't start. I cn hear clicking from relay somewhere but starter not turning. Battery fine. Took brake switch out...wd40.. Back in...no change. Noticed when turning key full stroke all the gear indicators light up in display and red led in door flashes. Key is ok. Followed various posts and decided to look in centre console for inhibitor...not there. Checked Haynes and it suggested a relay in engine compartment...not there. I need to start car to get it on to drive as at present on a hill and will not risk car raise. Can I sling a wire from battery to starter to bypass any inhibitor prob and if so...where is starter?

Hope someone has an idea.

If anyone is interested...I got it going again...battery just a little flat and the starter contacts were a bit dull so cleaned it all up, bit of contact cleaner in the multi plug...no probs for 300 miles.

Just read this and your autobox post. May not be today but I'll bet you've saved somebody a lot of headscratching/dosh in the future by taking the time to post outcomes...
