Coming home Sunday and engine lost all power and stopped,when I turn the key with a fully charged battery it just clicks.I,ve removed all the plugs and there's no sign of excess oil or foreign bodies.I,ve tried turning the engine with a big socket in the fan bit at the back behind the little plastic domed grill to no avail. Have I seized it and are there any other checks I could try? Its a 1600 ct engine by the way.
Sorry for the essay

I'm no expert, but have you considered it might be your starter motor?

Could that have caused the power loss?

sounds a bit terminal to me.
what happens if you try to bump start it???

plenty oil in?

oil was a bit low but not below bottom mark on stick.

oil pump failure?

will it turn now it's cold?

No nothing just a clonk as I turn the key. Am I trying to turn the engine manually in the right place?

Battery and electrics ok? Getting a spark?

impossible to check for spark it just clonks and doesnt turn.

it's a seized engine then mate...bad news

what caused it is just gonna be a post mortem...

Can anyone recommend someone in the Eastbourne'ish area to look at .

O.K can antone recommend someone in the Sussex/Kent area? PLEASE!

Afternoon. I could pop down to yours this weekend coming to have a look. I have a CT engine myself and after stripping it down completly and rebuilding it, kind of know it inside out! Working until then though but free at this weekend if you still need help. Got some CT top end spares too, just in case!
