Check all fuses in both fuse boxes ( one in boot and one in glove box ? ).There are a number of fuses related to ignition .Check owners h/book for listing of fuses .

Simples way would be to swap out the relay for a used one and try.
Check the relay/fuse box for the right one.

Thanks for all the help.
It would appear that the old battery had leaked over all the wiring. What a nightmare
