Default Starter motor issue

I have a 1.8d connect starter on my YB been turning engine over fine for the last two weeks while trying to get it started, come to it this morning and nothing. Been fucking about with ECU problems finally got that back and now this.

Put the meter round it and with just the battery lead on im getting 12v on the starter terminal, starter switch circuit working fine so guessing the solenoid is dead.

put a screwdriver across the 2 terminals with 13mm nuts on them if the motor spins the solenoid is duff if it doesnt spin you have probably burnt it out [bet the starter is motorcraft]
