If it just clicks once I would say starter motor, failing to engage. Rock the car a bit and try again.

try revving when starting, that tends to work for me if it doesnt start

Dead battery. Failed/lailing starter motor. Blown fues....

it'll be the wire to the starter motor solenoid I bet

^^^^^agree, broken wire to starter motor. this wire is quite often too short from the factory and doesn't cope well with the engine moving on it's mounts.

thanks to everyone but ten points to mork, wire had sheared off, on to tight from factory, the ibiza lives again!
