Disconnected battery negative cleaned connections all shiny,
took off two cables on drivers side chassis leg (above coil/bag) cleaned up thoroughly and sprayed with 2licks of paint as the bolt is a nightmare don't wanna go there again,
also cleaned one underneath on engine block.
Took cables off starter - the 13mm threaded bit moves? - Cleaned up put back on
Still nothing. Not a click or sound.
Hevac lights come on and dim out when you engage starter as they should so think barrel is okay

I get the feeling it is starter failure. There is current going to it, lit up my new spanner to check as I got frustrated
Hope I not blown anything else. Had to park down street so neighbours blocked me in to prove a point so No chance of bumping
Will try giving vehicle a rock in gear see if it unjams but was only turning really slowly before it stopped. can try give it a whelt with a hammer or try bridging the connections?

If it's seized, it's seized.
One of two things are the most common.
1. Bearing/Bush at one end has collapsed so as soon as you energize the armature, it just clamps itself to the stator magnets
2. One or both end bearings has collapsed and locked up.
Either way, chances of a hammer fixing it are slim.
The hammer fix can work for sticking/worn brushes.

I was thinking give the solenoid a tap incase it's stuck, and show her who's boss
If it then works it's new starter as opposed to autoelectrician
@Henry_b why are you stripping it out, to clean up?
Henry_b
Think outside, no box required.

Just cleaning it out, replacing interior pieces and doing other stuff

If the solenoid is stuck, it shouldn't pull enough current to dim the lights.I was thinking give the solenoid a tap incase it's stuck, and show her who's boss

No harm in trying it I suppose.
