Help please!
Took my car out for a decent drive on Sunday and all was fine. The battery is good but I had noticed recently a very slight hesitation when starting up, but only slight and only for a split second when I first turn the key - just not its usual instant starting. Got in just now and no engine turning at all. All the dash lights come on, headlights work fine, all stuff inside seems to be fine. But nothing from the engine at all - just dead when I turn the key. Any ideas please? Starter dead - any way of checking this? Ta

Try giving the starter a tap with a hammer.

Yep, if tapping the starter solenoid doesn't make any difference it will more than likely be the ignition switch. See here... viewtopic.php?f=3&t=101041
