Just knock the starter motor with a hammer or something man, if that dont get it started check ur wiring to it. Asuming it really is ur starter.
I had the same prob, spent hours tryin to start my car, a mate from racv comes down, bangs da starter, starts up first go. Gotta hate that.
goodluck |

| make sure the battery terminals are tight too. if one of them is even slightly loose it will cause dead starter motor symptoms. |

| banging the starter is good, but it means ur starter is on death row, so if that's ur prob, off to the wreckers you go matey! |
