Disconnect battery Unbolt from above 2x 14mm through bell housing. Undo 12mm nut on power lead and unplug solenoid wire then withdraw from below. Some have a brace from the block to the manifold (12mm bolts) in the way some don??

So i have it out, I put jumper cables on a car battery, negative wire on the flat spade terminal on starter and positive on the nut where i took the big wire off, nothing at all no movement or noise, time for a second hand one i think

The spade terminal would be the solenoid connection, wouldn't it! I would suggest positive to the nut as you stated, negative to the starter body (say by the mounting lug), then bridge the solenoid terminal to positive with a screwdriver and see if it kicks over.

nd even then, it will probably kick over fine, but not when it's trying to turn the engine over as well.

Be weary of second hand starters on those things, they are a bit of a lottery, especially if its a Hitachi one, it would be best to first find out if the one you have is serviceable or not, in many cases they're not economic to fix if theres been commutator damage (common).You might get another one that seems OK and three months later you are back to square one again.If you're planning on keeping the car for a while its better to just put a whole new one on, they aren't as expensive as you'd think.

Done that and nothing at all, but anyway wouldnt that just be shorting it out!

Get it reconditioned mate. About 137 dollars for the whole thing.
No more problems then.

new brushes and a new end bush, but getting someone to do it for less than a second mortgage is the issue

its the build up of carbon from the brushes in the motor windings that cause the fault. which is from age, not fault.
