I wasn't sure.Oil should not come out.
Well seems the next step is to drop the gearbox sump.
I have no idea what to expect cos never worked on an auto gearbox before.
There you go Wammers I gave you a like too.

The bell housing is a dry area so you shouldn't find oil unless there is a failed seal. When you say the engine won't turn, what symptoms are you getting? Does the relay click and nothing or does it try to turn and you can hear it struggling?

Check the starter it maybe stuck in the engaged position jammed on the ring gear.

The starter whirrs but thats all. Starter is tight against engine. Should I take it off?
Would starter cause the sudden loss in power?
Just had gearbox sump off and changed filter. All looked ok, no broken bits fell out.

It would if it had fired into ring gear whilst engine was running and engine was driving it. Jammed then the one way clutch had failed. Take it off and have a look.

If you find that is what has happened look at the starter relay, also if that is sound take a look at the fuse box.

Starter motor off and looks ok, no twisted shaft or broken teeth etc. Flywheel ring gear looks ok the wee bit i can see.
Connected battery across motor and whirrs away quite happily.

How did you connect it up? Motor should not run unless solenoid is thrown.

Pair of jump leads, positive to the nut that held the big cables from car and to one of the wee lucar terminals, negative to casing.

OK that is correct.. Now try and turn the engine by hand clockwise. See if it moves. If it does look at one way clutch on starter. If it has failed starter will run but not turn engine.
