Corsa redtop starter motor

Post by aimable455 »

Hi all car failed to start last night but was turning over.
Then the starter motor decided to jam itself. Then this morning to free the starter I bumped the car and it started. I then thought because I started it the motor would of been free. How ever I turned engine off and tried again however
The starter was still jammed. You can just here it click when
You turn the engine.
Does anyone have any suggestions or is the motor dead.
Cheers Steve
