Starting Issue ,help needed

[garyv6100e]

Having Trouble starting my car , the starter motor is not engaging , i did have an immobiliser fitted but i have removed it , i removed the starter button disconnected the wires and touched them together to "hot wire" it in case the starter button was busted , i got a spark but still nothing from the starter , do you guy's think its a dead starter ??? its on a 3 litre essex by the way and will be a real pain in the ar*e to remove as i have no room in my 100E any idea's please

I know it sounds a bit basic but have you tried hitting it!! mine used to stick but a quick clout with a hammer/bar did the trick but in the end i did have to take it out and clean it up.
