Looks like I might have to remove the Starter motor. :(

Is it an easy job..?

Looks in a pig of a place to get to.!

What a job that was.. :shock:

Removed starter only to find there was nothing wrong with it. ](*,)

Bench tested it and it worked fine, Refited it and greased all the
connections up and it fired up straight away.. \:D/

Right I thought... Time to look at the washer jets and see if I could get
them working again, Pressed the stick and they worked. :D  Pressed
it again and nothing. :(   Also now that the washer jets have stoped
working again the starter has packed up again too. :(

So it looks like a problem with the washer jets and the starter motor
are related... Any ideas anyone...? :?

One of the feeds from the ignition switch I'd guess.

Try wiggling the key...   and then pull your eyelid down as far as it will go

Never seen that one in the HBOL.
Is this a Freemason sort of thing?

The starter has a relay, ours is in the block behind the washer bottle........

...Coincidence you say?  Well I've had to swap this relay before now, it's not a sludge proof as the starter.

Top Man  =D>

Found the offending relay hiding by the washer bottle,
Mounting screws had came loose causing a bad earth to the starter
motor and the washer pump + other things, Better screws fitted and
greased up and it starts again...... Washers are working again too. \:D/

Cheers RRB for pointing me in the right direction.  :D
