Won't start...

  1. All was going well, fun was being had.

    But just gone to start it and the starter motor made all the right noises for a second then silence...

    It has fuel and I've had the Skoda jumping the vans battery so it has electric.

    Starter motor failed?

    What'd you think?
     
  2. get underneath and 'tap' said starter with spanner or hammer, also check connections are tight.

  3. How hard should I be hitting it?
    Just been out to give it bash and still nothing.

    But I do like the idea of fixing things with a hammer!

  4. Found it!

    A lead connection had snapped, couldn't see it at first glance.

    Didn't need to hit it with a hammer...
