In the olden days, I would have then given it a sharp thump with a hammer, a practice probably now frowned upon LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It the starter is stuck it should free it but to be honest with more modern starters they don't get stuck like the old units when the worn bendix end used to get jammed.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply park bonnet to bonnet, connect red to red first, then black to black, run donor car at about 3000 Rpm, then start your car. Remove leads carefully in reverse order. Oh, just realised this was hours ago, you'll be sorted now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connect brown to brown, and blue to bits聽馃ぃ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
