Z3 1.9 Won't start

[Hasel5]

Morning all drove the car to work stopped to check tyre pressure and then would not star
New Battery so not that
but do have a leak so drivers four pan wet
Dash lights up all electric and lights work etc just not turning over

Is there a module under drivers seat that could be wet and not allowing to start
Its a 1.9 manual 1998 Model
Thanks in advance

There's nothing under the floor that could wet which would cause it not to start. How far had you driven before you stopped to check pressures?

If you’ve recently had a new battery check the battery terminals are still good and tight. Loose terminals will allow everything to look ok except when you try to draw heavy current when trying to crank. Go for the easy stuff first.

About 400 yards

Will try and bump it in a bit

Quick update car bump started fine so either ignition switch or starter motor

I cleaned and regressed my starter motor following this video :
