Still not starting no click on solenoid. Power is getting there but will not work. Put a screw driver across the terminals and it turns the car over but nothing when I turn the key. Any help would be great. Who it mean I just need a new solenoid many thanks.

Geezee, how many topics do we need about the Started Solenoid...
In addition to this one, there's two others.
It's hard to know what mix we have of people having finger trouble, accidental double topic posting and the forum just playing havoc all on it's own....

What people in the other two topics might not have latched onto is that the car has been dormant for 16 years as reported in this Topic.
Take it all off and give it a good clean.
Have you actually fully mounted it with bolts tight?
Check the solenoid windings with a multimeter. Should be a lowish reading of 10 ohms or so at a rough guess, certainly not in the 100's or more, but I can't check it on my car as it's a pull start.
(take the white/red wire off, check that terminal to the case, and then check that terminal to the battery -ve post)
You said you've changed the Solenoid.
Was it a new one or one that's been lying around even longer than the car has?

You don't. You post how you solved it and it remains here for reference by other users.
