Hi all, just wired up my starter, solenoid clicks away and nothing else, this happens with both starters I have. I have tried these on the battery prior to fitting and they both shoot in and out as they should. 90 2.5n/a in a series 3
 
Hi you can try a jump lead direct from the battery to the spade terminal , just don't touch any where else with it , I use a jump lead from the battery then connect it to a smaller wire , so there is no chance of it touching anything else , you could always fit a spade connecter to a spare piece of wire , make its in neutral as well , motor should turn engine over , be careful
 
First i'd use a jump lead from the negative terminal on your battery to the engine - then try to turn the engine over using the key - if that works ok your problem is the earths from engine/gearbox to chassis to battery ;)
