The one that normally rapidly clicks when trying to fire over is the one with 405 on it baz, if its clicking tho it means its fine
Just been out to give it a try to see if it was water and it's now dried out.
Still not starting but the clicking seemed to have calmed down at the first attempt but returned on the second...
All the noise is coming from the engine bay and not the actual relays.

When you turn the key is it trying for fire over or is it just clicking?
Also check the big fuses on the battery fuse box as i think there starter motor connected

i read on here that the fuel relay in the leon/toledo is the 109, which was supposively swapped for a new version at one point: the 643 (at least that's what the guy received from the dealers when he asked for a new one)
maybe worth reading his thread, as this is playing the last few days for him as well so he might be able to help

It's just clicks for a couple of seconds then buzzes like something shorting out.
All those fuses are fine

the clicking really sounds like your starter motor as said earlier...it is also supposed to die off after holding the key turned.....
If its the starter motor then all the lights on the dash will flash and go dimmer the longer you turn the key.
I know it sounds silly but are the batery connections done up tight?

Battery connections all spot on. Just checked, the dash lights come on but when the clunking is going on in the engine bay the battery light flashes. None of them dim.
With that in mind baz it does point to the starter motor mate. It might be siezed which would stop it jump starting, i can imagine its about £100 for a new one so not to bad really, could be alot worse
you have to realize that a car battery loses power quickly if the car won;t start and you keep trying over and over again. Best bet if you are gonna continue trying, to put it on one of those socket loaders, or else you'll be stuck with a dead battery soon.
but myki if it is the starter motor he might as well try and give it a good wack first with a heavy blunt object and see if it starts then...that will rule it out for sure
Yeh very true reuvers. A good old whack to the starter motor is the old skool way, worth a shot for sure
the clicking by the sounds of it is the solenoid kicking out
either that or a crap battery
try a jump start
i think about 3 people told him that about twenty odd times.
good to hear its working again though. I know what a bother it can be if your precious don't start hahaa

Yeah most of you suggested the starter motor, top boys! I checked everything people suggested and found the fault.
I now know what a dodgey starter motor sounds like now
