Sounds like a flat battery, either that or its seized

[petet16]

How much voltage is the battery showing ?

[redzed]

It's got a new battery and I've tried my other zs battery which is fine on it same noise

Assuming the engine isn't seized, it may be worth checking the main engine earth for condition and clean connections.

as pete, earth, a jump lead from engine to battery may suffice?

That sounds like starting circuit and not engine related. As said check all cables to the starter solenoid and all earthing straps.

so like they've said already check your connections.

Double post!? No idea why it posted twice

Check all fuses, an ex rover mechanic told me most fuses are linked in 1 way or another. when my indicator fuse blew i couldn't start the engine.

No. I was refering to post 5, 6 an 7.

fuses all fine, starter is fine. so looks like the engine is seized. ball ache. was going to push it down my drive(its a slope) and once moving put it into gear and drop the clutch, this a good or bad idea? Its not used much at all but was running a few weeks ago, hopefully its nothing major

Take a power feed direct to the starter and also an earth to the block/gearbox, then you can rule out your feeds ect, bumping it down the drive is fine, its just getting it back if it doesn't start.
