HOLD ON !!! The first step, is to let us know if your campaign is accruing clicks and / or impressions daily ? Because "ad isn't showing now" in diagnosis, is not always an accurate indication. So, firstly, please let us know if your campaign is accruing clicks and / or impressions daily ? And then, we can logically move to the next point of our (human) diagnosis, related to "ad isn't showing now".

It is likely that your daily budget does not meet the keyword competition, and as a result, your quality score is very low.

It's likely that you've set a low CPC bid, which isn't enough to show. Or because the audience clicked on the wrong target you selected
Yes it had no impressions at the time of writing this thread (which was like 3 hours after the campaign started). Also, I just woke up and realised I had a destination mismatch so I had to edit it. Will let you know if it gets any impressions after the review.
The highest bid for my keywords is £0.02 so I have set my max CPC bid to this.
Ok so my ad is now approved just now and I have set my bid limit to the Top of page bid (high range) and I still do not have any impressions or clicks. The bid limit is £0.02 and my Daily budget is £10.

Your ad has gone into the "Approved" mode just now. You need to WAIT. NOWADAYS, in most cases, when an ad gets approved (or eligible), it takes around 48 hours for the ad to start showing impressions / clicks. I suggest you wait atleast 72 hours before you do any changes in that particular campaign. And I guess you will NOT need to do any changes, as you have bidded for top of the page and if that top of the page is £0.02 and daily budget is £10, your campaign should ideally do well, PROVIDED the keywords, ad headlines, ad descriptions and the landing page are ALL in line with eachother. In other words, if keywords are about potatoes, ad headlines about watches, ad descriptions about desks and the landing page about mars, then no matter even if one bids top of the page & no matter if the daily budget is fine, the ad will not show or will perform very poorly.
Anyways, as explained, NOWADAYS, in most cases, when an ad gets approved (or eligible), it takes around 48 hours for the ad to start showing impressions / clicks, so PATIENTLY WAIT.
EDITED to reply to :-
If the keywords, ad headlines, ad descriptions and the landing page are ALL in line with eachother, that is great. Just wait for 48 hours, sometimes 72 hours and you'll see some positive action in the campaign.
