Missing fuse module nut, what size is it?

Just a little update. I connected a jumper cable to the negative battery terminal last night and to the car body but it made no difference. I also tried connecting it to the bolt of the engine mount - nothing.

I still get that click and it's coming from the area of the starter motor, my neighbour confirmed that for me. I don't have space to jump start the car but I will try it and maybe it'll jolt the starter enough to revive it.

I also removed the battery tray, just to have a peek under it. The earth strap to the gearbox isn't exactly easy to reach but it is at least secured so I believe it's hammer time. After watching the Laurel and Hardy video, a few smacks and it might start working again - I hope.

Very careful if you hit the starter with a hammer. there are magnets inside and easily broken...

I would still try a 12v to small terminal on starter, If it turns over it works and your problem is elswhere

Ah yes, you're right. I'll try that first if I can, but I'm not convinced that I'll reach/see the terminal from underneath. Thank you.

A long piece of wire clipped onto positive terminal, connected to a long screwdriver or similar and touch on small starter terminal from underneath.

Hi Steve. By "small terminal" on the starter do you mean this one that the red arrow points to?

[Steve Walsh]

That's the one, that energises the solenoid / starter. The one with blue on becomes live when the small one receives 12v. the one on the right is 12v from battery
