Alternator bearing prob seized up & wont allow belt to turn so engine cant turn over

Disconnect the belt & I bet it will start :)

+1 alternator was stuck on mine, can be freed up so new one not required!

Get a socket on the crank shaft bolt and try manually turning the engine. Starr motor seized? Think you can get a socket on the alternator, bit of wd40 on it and crank it to loosen it off!

Think it's about 22mm for the crank btw!

does it make any noise at all? Check the feeds to the starter for power

Make a video of it, upload to YouTube and post the link here!

ill try manually turning it over, mate literally all that happens is a single click as key is all the way & nothing, going to look at earths, & starter motor connections have been cleaned up

Sure its not a sticking starter solenoid? Either bash it with a hammer and bar (not too hard though so you break anything) Or stick the car and give and rock it back and forth. Sometimes frees them up

yeah mate tried those 1st, ill try another starter & check the earths, thanks
