Check all the fuses, mine did this once and one of the fuses had blown, cant remember which one it was now, but changed it and away she went.

Also check all th relays, one of these might play a role.
Also without sounding obvious, make sure your battery terminals are tight and that none of the wires attached to the + next to the batter tray have pulled out (this can happen)

My problem was the earth strap to the gearbox. Checked it a couple of times but obviously didnt fix it. Rpruen recomended I used a jump lead as an extra earth and I got it turning over.... I rember that being a tough week!!
