Default starter motor wiring confusion :S

My starter motor on my zetec mk3 fiesta seized this morning so it was spinning but not engaging the flywheel.

I swapped the starter for a spare i had in the shed but the wiring contacts on the starter motor were in slightly differerent positions as the one i took off was an aftermarket replacement.

I then wired up the replacement motor and turned the key and got....absolutely nothing. The solenoid was not popping and the motor was not spinning, nothing.

I guess i've wired it up wrong... here is a diagram of how it is wired up now:

I've checked all fuses in the fuse box and they are fine?

Many thanks
