2007 V8 Vantage won't start

[bobcanada]

I have a 6 speed manual that currently won't start. When I turn the key on, the engine start button glows white and the dashboard lights up as normal. When I depress the clutch pedal, the engine start switch turns red. Then, when I press the engine start button all I get is a whirring sound coming from the engine compartment and the starter does not engage.

The car has a new fully charged battery. The car did start a couple of times yesterday when I was doing the spring commissioning. Now all I get is the whirring sound when I press the ignition start switch button.

I don't have an immobilizer.

Any suggestions?

If you get a whirring and no engine turning over at all, then it must be the starter motor failing to engage I would think.
