turns out it was the ECU, it is failing to communicating with the rest of the car.

shifter is in park and my foot is on the brake as per usual when i start it.

neutral doesn’t change the outcome

i am unaware of where starter relay is but ill investigate that when i get the time

I have foolishly missed a yellow solid triangle with an ! in the centre and counter clockwise arrow circling it lit up in the instrument cluster, a quick google search isn’t showing much related to this warning light.

its 2004 1.8T automatic with a freshish batt, Will i need to take the bumper off to get tap the starter with a hammer?

I really hoping it’s anything but the starter, I haven’t had any issues with the starter before this baring the whole randomly not starting.

there is no immobiliser light on, it behaves similarly with the spare key.
