Checked ignition barrel. Took apart, all seems to be working ok.

Checked for spark, couldnt figure out how to get at plugs but took off the plastic HT lead/plug 'thing' and checked with a multimeter, getting a very small reading.

Solenoid on starter is getting power, yet makes no noise at all when trying to start the car.

So was thinking starter is next port of call unless theres anything else to check.

Are zetec starter interchangable or is the 1.25 starter unique?
