Why wouldn't it? As long as all the relays are connected you'll be fine.

Does the engine start with the rear clam off?
I have my engine light on and she no start.
Yes I drove it with the rear clam off 
as artic says, just make sure the relays and fuse are seated correctly

Could someone elaborate on where the relays are that I need to check? The rear light relays are obviously not connected.
When I turn on the ignition I normally hear the charge cooler water pump running but now I get nothing except the engine light illuminated and it doesn't even try to turn over.
I changed the gear cables, so I've been knocking about in the cabin too.
I also gave the engine bay a bit of a wipe down, so potentially I've knocked something

Thanks for the pointers.
I went over every relay and connection I could find to disconnect - clean - put back.
Car started fine!
I don't know which one was causing the issue but all fine now.

I think I have one somewhere, but otherwise have a look at the one with the pictures I made :

Pretty much covers all.
