Haven't ever used a hammer on my car but good to know if I ever run across a dead starter.... IMHO Time for a new starter... Replacements in the U.S. are around $50 - $80. Not sure what the cost would be in the U.K.

Hammer trick works for fuel pumps too. If you ever get stranded with a crank - no start condition, bang on the fuel tank. You just may be able to get home.

Hahaha, banging on shit really works. The other day my HIDs went out when I went to start my car at lowes. Didn't look at it till yesterday. I was getting a signal to the HID relay but nothing out so I banged it on the fender well a couple of times and they came on. Then that evening I was grilling some dinner and had to switch propane tanks in the middle. The new tank would not flow right and I could barely keep two of the four burners lit and it wasn't very hot. I banged on the regulator out of frustration and the shit came on. It's my new go to when shit stops working. lol

You only need three things in your toolbox. Hammer, wd-40, and a condom. If the hammer or the wd-40 won't fix it, fuck it.
