I'm still having trouble with Kim's starter motor. I've put a replacement on, which worked a couple of times, then decided to just click rather than work.
So today I went out to remove the two cables from the bottom of the starter motor, give them a rub with wet n dry, apply copper grease, then put them back on.
As I was unfastening the nut I heard a crack. Wondered what it was, but then continued. Another crack, but this time I saw sparks as the spanner touched the body of the starter motor. That was when I remembered to disconnect the battery before messing around with electrical cables
Did that, did the job, reconnected everything and tried her.
No click, no turnover. Nothing.

What fuse/relay do I need to check please?
