Try moving the gear selector back n forward ,inhibitor switch ,Or check small wire to rear of the starter motor solenoid if its broken or disconnected...earth to engine might be poor ,try a jump lead to earth it

You could also try a wire from the positive terminal to the small terminal on the starter solenoid to check the starter is working.

Burn it now. Save the heartache?
Inhibited from starting by lock-outs or not enough earth/current to starter?

Did you check the big bastard fuse? Early models was shared with EAS compressor so unplug that if it is blown, replace then try again.

Easily checked out by using a jump lead from the battery negative to the engine.

What I have noticed not sure of its relevance but I can hear a sort of high pitch whine coming from somewhere in the car but can’t track it down when the ignition is on

That'll be the wife. Leave her in the house.
Or I guess it could be a loose connection.
