Default No spark at the plugs

Cars not getting a spark, took a coil and plug out to check for a spark and nothing, plug was dry too. any ideas?

where abouts is the crank sensor? cant see it. turbo timer is playing up too, sometimes it comes on and other times it doest even light up like its getting no power, could it be related to my spark problem?

Cars sorted it was one of the big green relay/fuses under the bonnet, it was hard to see where it was broken so over looked it first time and set about taking my dash apart

Running like a dream now
