Hi all,
Along with my engine problem...I can only start the van via bump starting! Battery is good and fully charged but nothing on ignition...Just clicks! Any help would be much appreciated!

Check the red/black wire is still attached to the starter motor.

Check that your earths are nice and clean, and tight. Also check all connectors to your battery, ensuring they are secure, tight, and making a good contact.

Right, so I have worked out how to test the starter... I connected the main threaded connector to the excite wire and connected to the battery. The drive cog comes out but does not spin.
My logic then was to test the wires running from ignition to starter and if the same happened as above I would know that everything to the starter motor was fine. Did this...then nothing!
Any thoughts??? Help!!!
