Apoligies for my first post on your forum being one of an issue! Not the ideal way to have to join a forum....

Just went to start my car and it isnt turning over. The battery has charge but the starter isnt engaging. I have dismissed that it is the battery because with jump leads and a fresh battery it has no help. Is there a way of defining my problem. Im guessing it is solenoid related or starter. However, from past experience when it is a bad starter you can usually get it to engage making the usual dull thud. The car starts and runs when it is bump started.
Any ideas? All help and comments greatly appreciated. Thank you. Tom.
