I couldn't get the video to play but your description sounds like you need the charge the battery.

Sounds to me the starter gear is not engaging
filling up the battery will make the starter turn faster and the gear engage easier

Thanks guys... When I checked with the multimeter I was getting around 12V but when I put it on a charger it showed a weak charge.. We will see tomorrow morning..

I used to think that carrying a tool kit was the most important thing in the boot of my Healey... I now Know its my Ipad and being a member of this forum !!!
