gtomo2:
Have you tried to rock the car in gear with the handbrake off. had it on one of my cars and it was the starter ring in the gearbox that had a couple of teeth missing and would lock the starter motor if it caught the wrong part of the starter ring and hit the missing teeth bit.

Yoshi:
Havent tried that no mate, am thinking its electrical cos its not even trying to push anything, its just getting nothing at all when i turn the key.

extreme90:
i have it all the time the click is the starter solenoid trying to throw the stater pinion out but it cant cos its siezed
symptoms..
a click and no go
all lights dim down
the starter is situated underneath the exhaust manifold to the right hand side of the turbo
itll be hidded behind a stupid heat sheld that should be binned  :roll:
if there was a relay missing then it would have never worked from day one  :wink:

Yea thats what i use to get as the starter was trapped by the teeth it would not turn the starter just click the relay

iff its a 300 id say spider prob, best way to check . id pull the pipe off from the turbo rearmost one , so you can see the starter , then bridge the small wire to the large positive terminal. the car should turn over , (so watch ya fingers) ign on it should start, then push the turbo pipe on , this will eliminate the starter, so easy enough to try first. iff its still no go then you have more than likely a starter fault. iff you think its the starter fault you could then try jump leads to the starter to eliminate bad earths or bad connections. cheers alan......
