Classic with 200tdi fitted, ages ago, been running OK until now. Ignition on, turn to start position - nothing. Had been playing up, so new motor obtained, fitted , still nothing. Then bench tested "old" motor (yes, I know, should have done that first but...) spun like a good'un! Cables connection checked at chassis etc, seem ok. Any one got any ideas, please?

Ignition switch? Check with a meter that the small wire on the solenoid is live when the key is turned to start.

Finally got round to checking, small wire was live, relay on bulkhead clicking happily. Took new starter motor off, bench checked (well, pavement....) dead as a door nail! Cleaned every earth I could find, put power to old motor, spun. Replaced it, turned the key - sorted!!!

Thanks for your help.
