Mend Ford Fiesta Wont Start

Ford Fiesta won't start?

1990 Ford Fiesta, 1.1L, won't start. Battery good, headlights on full beam, turn key, headlights stay bright. No clicking noise. Will start with a push.
I don't think starter is jammed as headlights remain unaffected when attempting to crank engine

It may be the starter motor, Have you tried hitting the starter with a hammer whilst someone else has turns the key all the way round? if it starts after this then it's defo the starter. The starter should be behind the engine it's a long tube thing on the side of the gear box normally.

is immobiliser light working as normal and not flashing rapidly? [if fitted], check for battery voltage on small starter wire when key turned to start position, if ok suspect starter if no voltage then i think there is a fusible link in this small lead covered by insulation , check to see if its broken,if its ok then there may be a relay for starter-check this.
