What about an autoelectrician, should find the problem quick and save buying bits you will not require????

Personaly if it was mine & insurance etc was due up I think I would start to think about breaking it for parts or cut losses and sell to scrappy,
As suggested by Peter though it might be worth a last chance by getting an auto electrician to have a look at it.
Hate to see anybody throwing good money after bad.
Fingers crossed for you mate.

Thats a bit of blow, have you tried putting it in gear and rocking it to see if the engine rotates.

Its a really simple circuit for the starter, i cant see it being anything you cant wire around so i wouldnt scrap it. Hard to diagnose without being there but someone in the know should be able to diagnose in a few minutes

Little update:

Think we're getting somewhere


Decided to live wire the starter while on the car and it fired first up time time.

So the conclusion at the moment is that the starter isn't getting a live feed from the ignition systems through the spaded cable on the starter. So what needs to be checked now :/


Don't fancy lifting the bonnet every time I need to start the car

I've wired in a push start button to bypass the ignition switch with no joy.
