Ted the ex mechanic

Thanks again. Yes I've been playing around with that. Had it on and off a few times. It does seem a bit loose on there even with the clip on. But I expected the number of times I've fiddled with it might have got it to make contact again. But I will take your advice and pay some closer attention to it. I realise some of these things are delicately poised and on a fine line between working and not working. 

Thanks Thom, literally under the car looking at it right now 🙂

Just thought of a couple anomalies that happened that I haven't mentioned... When we first replaced the starter and cranked it over, it DID actually start, but run quite rough. Our assumption was that it was running out of petrol. We rectified that situation, but it hasn't fired since. Several times I have checked for spark, and a couple of those times it intermittently did, although it didn't appear that strong. But now it's completely gone, no spark whatsoever.....

Hi Jack, I've identified and looked at the things you have suggested. Unfortunately there is nothing obviously disconnected, unplugged or broken. But I've given everything a twist, a flex and bend, hoping that a bad connection or contact may reconnect. But no go, it still doesn't start. Where do I go from here.... Any thoughts? 

Thanks again, i will let you know how it goes. I'll be looking at it shortly.....
