      yup. Big cable to main screw terminal. then the other connector goes on the top spade IIRC.

        Try swapping the spade connector to the other pin, sods law says you'll have it on the wrong one.

          think i have it right then.

          ive got voltage going down to the solenoid when i turn the key and i've tried it on both terminals. still no action from it, not even an attempting 'click'

              when you say main screw, i assume you mean the longer one on the left?

                        Do that in a Mini and it earths through the heater cable and sets fire to it. BTDT

                        Worth bench testing, or hot wiring it with some jumper leads to see if its dead. Last time i had the engine out of mine the starter mysteriously died in the process. I reckon being kicked around the garage floor was its undoing. Worked fine after it was reconditioned.
