The battery was flat, same thing happens on my Elise, it clicks but does not spin.

Can't be that?!?

It's connected to a charger/conditioner when not in use - but I will check!

 :oops: :oops: :oops:

It's the battery.

13.0v on the charger/coditioner
10.3v off the charger/conditioner - key off
00.8v off the charger/conditioner - key on

A new battery it is then.

Thanks.

If its original its the starter switch.  Does the job of a selonoid but technicly its not one as its not remote triggered, The button in the cab is on the other side of it!
