Its your starter for sure. Have you tried giving it a few taps with a hammer before starting it???

Obviously because your car has not been started in a while your batt will be almost dead, so even if it was a relay or fuse, your car would not start anyway!!!

What you can do it open up the solinoide and file down the rough bits and clean it right up might give you a few more starts before it packs in.

Ive been driving my car everyday, i have been bridging a wire from the constant power to the switch pin on the solenoid. Thats what makes me believe that its not a starter issue, i could be wrong

Simon, you still need a starter to test? I'm on holidays now and am free during the week only, but can possibly help you. Of course in return for favours

LOL

Yeah mate. 3pm's not too bad but yeh I mean if you could give me a definite time you'd be at your's on a weekday then I can drive up. This monday, tues and frid are a no go though but the week after looks good. Oh yeh and you do know how to put the starter motor back in with no probs right??

haha, yeah mate i dont know if ill even pull it out. Ill just get the voltmeter onto it and see whats going on when starting etc and then compare to my car as i really think its the inhibitor switch on the tip.

Yeah ill let you know about what day

Cheers
