Well it was in a nice dry garage, no mice or anything else....
New key fob battery (good one) new main car battery
As I said it did start and run for a short while on Easy start

I cannot hear the fuel pump - that is my suspect problem I think...
easiest to take out and check I guess....

I am going to get one of teh remotes checked over by a key speciaist.
but these early cars are a simple RFID chip so don't think that....


Ok short update, following Beelzy's comment....
Went out to the car,
first thing opening it with the key, alarm goes off (fob flashes but does not disarm), only stopped by key in ignition...
I make sure everything is turned off, fan radio ...
Luckily it iis very quiet...
and hey..... (remember everythig is the other way round as we are RHD) I can hear as you say humming, but no click....
What I have noticed is... New battery was fully charged and the battery is quite low leaving it for a week without doing much...

once I get it running it will have a full service and change of fluids...

Assuming it started and ran for a few seconds using easystart. Think 20 years has the fuel lines full of clogs? Disconnect at both ends and see if you can pressurize and blow fuel through. Think injectors are clogged?
