My hybrid won't start and i need some help, i just had an angioplasty thing and ain't well enough to be scrawling under the damn thing at present.

Brews are free and manditory talk [!Expletive Deleted!] for hours also available, will help where i can.

Leicester if anyone can help me out much appreciated.

I know begging n stuff for help but i need to sort it.

Thanks all

It WAS turning over and then it just stopped, i assume the starter is locked in engaged.  

The thing hasn't been started for 4 months until i tried on saturday, i did the oil and water before i started but i assume the starter needs pulling off and refitting.

Either that or it needs a good pull to bump start, prolly be best done with a bump.  Though that all said i was ahving problems keeping the battery charged, again could be starter related though the damn thing has a new alternator and starter and even a new-ish battery and all new leads and cables.

So not really sure whats wrong with it just think it needs a bump to get it started and then hopefully the starter will behave itself and then maybe i can work out whats wrong with the battery going flat all the time.

Cheers in advance

Beat ten bells out of the starter and it did nothing, and NOPE it ain't started.

I jumped it off another motor and it still just won't make the starter turn over, the starter ain't that old either (6months) worked fine until i left the motor stand for a few months.

I live in Countesthorpe.

Cheers in advance

No it doesn't click, if it did i would say the battery was flat.

What the problem is, is the starter is stuck and needs taking off coating in WD40 and refitting.  

I have bashed at it as best i can but as i said before i am too ill to be underneath stripping it off, if i can't convince someone to give me a hand or even tow the thing it will just have to wait till i am feeling better in a month or two

OR i need a tow start, this should release the starter and  SHOULD make all things well again.

Cheers
