If it wont crank then there are 3 possible problems: ignition, battery or starter, If you have a weak crank then it narrows it down to battery or starter.

Car wont start,radio wont work but lights work

I agree with Jerry - sound like perhaps your ECM fuse is blown which would prevent your car brains from working. Take off the cover, invest in a tiny fuse puller - you can see the break in the "U" shaped metal or black splat if the fuse cut-loose. Also, make sure you don't have anything plugged-into your cigarette/power outlet(s) and after checking/replacing fuses, retry restarting your car. Also, what red light is on - the two zig-zag lighting bolts, or all/some of your lights?

My 1993 Jaguar XJ6 wont turn over..the lights on the dashboard wont come on but the radio works and all the lights in the car..someone help please.

I recommend you have your battery tested. The starter requires MUCH more power than the radio does. You could also see if the car starts with a jump start. Also, as a general rule, a battery is only good for 3-4 years so if it is older than that it wants to be replaced anyhow : )

Good luck!!!
