If it won’t turn, is this manually, or trying it electrically?

I'm using a phone. I don't know if it's my phone that can add them.
Just every time I add a photo it says error.

trying it with the key all wired to the car. also tried it with jump leads

As in bench test ?

It sounds like your getting somewhere with this . . have you actually tried putting one jump lead from the earth on the battery and then the other end to a clean metal area on the engine just to make sure you have a confirmed visual earh

Are you using I phone?

I only use Droid so I can upload any file I like to anyone I like.

i was getting somewhere. And I finally have got it started. after bout 5 weeks over the road.
Another problem i had a few months ago was, I had my clutch bracket plate snap. this held the clutch ****ten leading to the clutch marater cylind. i think thats whatbit was called. well anyway that plate cracked there for loosing my clutch.
I then welded the bracket to repair it. then to stop it rusting I gave it a new coat of paint. when this gets bolted on 1 of the bolts has a wire on it.
little did i know this is where the earth from the battery is bolted on.
so The only thing I could put it down to is. a fresh bit of paint on 1 panel fasten to a rusty bit of steel fasten to a bran new starter motor. And that must not of let the electricity pass through.
I ground the new paint of the earth. I ground the end of my starter motor. And made a new steel bracket from where the starter motor bolts onto and the other end of this bracket I fastened straight to the clutch plate.
It sounds so simple now. But I must have spent 50 hours checking wires fuses and relay. not thinking it was the steel not passing electric through.
But.happy it's working now.
Just gota tidy all the wires back up now.

So I take it you tried the jump lead earth to engine then it started then realized what had happened ??

I the earth lead worked with everything but the starter. I didn't read that untill now. But I was thinking along them lines. I ended up doing jump lead from starter 2 the mount where the earth attached 2. And that sorted it for me. as the actual wire itself was ok. And the battery once bumped off is all ok. it's started bout 6 times and we took it out 4 a good run. so all good.
cheers for the help
