Batteries perfect. Wouldn't be able to start it from crossing the starter motor connections if that was the case

Why would the radio be dead, the clock not working and the quiet buzz from behind the dash at the same time as the starter not cranking though? Was running totally fine yesterday. Has confused me.

Think it's the earth from the gearbox to the chassis leg that's broke. Have you checked the earths?

Cleaned up earth's on the chassis leg and rebolted them.
Went to start car off the key and wouldn't turn over, started with screw driver across starter terminals. Jumped in car and radio had power, it turned on for a split second and went off again, same with the clock.
Couldn't find the chassis to gearbox earth so ran my own. Still won't fire off the key???
Do you think it possible the ignition live has fallen off the ignition barrel? I just can't think why there's no feed to the starter motor when the keys turned over and the radio and clock are constantly dead. Got continuity from the battery to all the earth locations in the engine bay now

If you can, test you are getting power to the starter solenoid when the key is turned.
