Tried the spare, no luck. It's not even clicking over, I take it something like this would store a fault?
Hopefully so, various things give trouble in relation to non starts but if the starter isn't getting 12v then I'd say it's either fuse blown, ignition barrel, key (tried that) or faulty ews. Next up after checking fuses id try crossing the starter motor but should only do this if your confident in what your doing. If it starts then you know the immobiliser is ok and it's a 12v supply issue, usually the ignition barrel.

The main reason I didn't check those fuses at the time was because I was told they were checked, showed the faulty fuse to the the guy who checked them and he still couldn't see the break :tounge:

Unfortunately I'm still in the Yaris until Tuesday evening I think, the body shop want to do some extra work free of charge as a favour for the mess up.
