Starter is at the front by the engine mount, 2 8mm head bolts on the RHS IIRC.
Tap it gently with a hammer as said before, if it works, you have fucked brushes. I suspect it's brushes anyway.
If you're patient, when I next raid my parts at my other house I can see if I still have one of the GN starters there

Thanks mate, we'll see how I end up.

Hammer didn't work neither did direct leads or jumping directly to the starter. Took the starter motor apart and took a photo of the brushes, to the rookie eye they don't look in the best shape but what do you guys think?

What state is the commutator in? (That's the segmented wide copper ring on the end of the armature (shaft in the starter) that the brushes contact with)

It was pretty black, cleaned it up with some fine grade sand paper and scraped some shit out of the grooves. Reckon the brushes are OK? One is significantly shorter than the other..?

Got a new starter from the wreckers. Problem solved. Thanks team.
