Starter motor is on the top of the gearbox at the rear of the engine bay. May need to get under the car to get at it easily

dose it turn over?

when i turn the key, the belt where the alternator is, moves a tiny bit then stops like their is no power it doesnt do a full turn but after i let go about 30 seconds after their is a little clicking noise, but i got a new battery and even put the leads on it, tryed bumpin but nothin

sounds like flat battery but if you have changed it then check the battery ground. also starter motor is quite cheap to pick up to replace

check earth wire or jump it put live to batt+ and earth engin and just cos its a new battery dosent mean its any good take it back to place u got it and ask them to check it
