PLEASE HELP :( non starting electic fault????

Please please please some one help me out, I have a problem with my car and it won't start! I have called the rac out and the guy spent hours doing tests and not quite located the problem but has eliminated a few things! His report says:-

Non-start, no crank + no fuel pump run, fuse 52 ok (20 amp) will crank if 12v supply at fuse, so starter ok?

I also have some other electronic faults not sire if they are connected, are as follows , drivers seat and steering wheel controls stopped working have checked fuses and box under seat, when indicate left, front fog light flashed instead, and fault on dash saying no indicator front left and remote locking only work within about a foot and directly point to the sensor on the drivers door???

If some one could help me and guide me in the right direction I would b so grateful as now I have no way of getting around and have the car up for sale as sad as it is I do love this car but want a newer cheeper version , many thanks Danny

This is a common ignition problem with the W204 I think. Do a search for W204 ignition.
