I just had a mobile mechanic to come and have a look at the problem, and have concluded that it is something with the ignition switch and possibly electrical as the car doesn't want to start now. He was referring to a possible fault with the distributor or something.

Would it be possible that turning the car on and off may have destroyed or damaged the distributor? Or is it simply that the ignition switch is fully damaged? or that my battery is just completely drained?

Could someone help me out PLEASE. I have been without a car for a week or so now and I wanted to get this problem ASAP now.

Thanks in advance.
