Ok a diesel, my crystal ball has a flat battery so had to guess, as your engine doesn't crank perhaps that also has insufficient power and unable to crank the engine. So nothing to do with a fuel pump.

Check the small lucar connector on the starter solenoid to not be loosened, if no joy give a tug to the starter with something, also check the thick main feed on it, if still no joy swap relays R2(starter) with R3(headlamp wash) and check fusible link FL12... providing it's not immobilised, did you unlock normally with fob and unlocked OK?

Nope, if it's seized, what's to click? Before turfing it out make sure it's getting juice. Could be just a dodgy connection.
