battery or could be the starter selenoid. try givin the starter some ticks see if it helps. the starter is at your right side behind the engine below the thermostat tubing that comes from the waterpump.

x2, just sounds like there is not enough juice, but enough for dash lights etc.

Agreed. There can be enough voltage to run some accessories, but not enough cranking amps to turn the engine if the battery is run down or have a damaged cell.

those plug in testers are mickey mouse toys. you need a battery load tester as the voltage may only drop when you try and start the car.

i still reckon its the battery

not too bad. 2 bolts, a clip on connector and bolt on connector. remember to disconnect the battery first. undo the bolts from the top and then remove from underneath. not too bad a job, just a little fiddly.

I can't even seem to see the starter motor were about is it looked everywhere do I need to go underneath the car

 

[dac69er]

its round the back of the engine, bolted to the gearbox. you can just see it from the top, easier to see from underneath.
