I can try that, I think they will dim- when you try and turn it over you get the clunk of the solenoid and then the dash flickers - I had assumed due to the large current draw of the starter and it being jammed and not turningYep the starter’s stuffed. You might get it to go by turning the ignition to engage the solenoid and bumping it round to either unstick it or getting it to a bit contacts the commutator that’s not stuffed but you pretty much might as well tow start it then really.
Be careful if you’ve been trying a lot that the batteries aren’t just flat.

Hopefully we are not confusing our clicks with our clunks.
All we know for sure is that the engne has started once when the starter was tapped and now doesn’t do so when tapped. There is no information about how long it has been parked since last started. If you cannot get at the starter motor at least eliminate the battery and its connections.
