...hit the starter motor (quite hard!!)and no joy,
...checked the battery terminals & earth (3times) - not a murmur
...rocked the car in 2/3rd (almost of its chasis) - still only a burr then a click AND THATS IT
..... its a lovely day TOO!!
SO where is the "inertia switch" I may as well check everything now... I ONLY CHANGED THE bd spark plugs..
Dead fed up now!!

Every FORD I have ever had has suffered at some time or another with a sticking starter motor.
Although this has never happened on the S in 5 years.
I found the only solution was to remove it and clean the internals. maybe worth a try, perhaps worth trying to bump first to confirm that it is nothing more serious.

....weh hay!! Jump started first time....went a few miles (30 ish ). Garaged her and tried a few successful start ups....
Must have been the starter motor sticking....spot on guys! and Cheers.
Will pop it into the local and have it serviced/fixed...unless it won't start again! My nieghbour (bless him) nearly had a cardiac and pierced eardrums all at once (dont think he's up for another go for some time!
as for me I'm now on AGAIN!
