Is your battery flat, do your headlights come on fully lit.
If there is no starter activity then check the battery earth, and obviously check all connections to starter motor and battery.
And check earth connections.
It could be a lot of things, you just need to narrow down the possibilities.
I am sure that somewhere womeone said something about the gearbox earth lead, if disconnected for some reason stops your car turning over.
Just start by checking there is power(battery) and all connections are sound.
