In terms of not starting. A little more info would be good. Is it just not firing? Not cranking?

From that pic the power to your starter doesn't look too tight, as a side note

a quick question is one thing but that one was a bit to quick :grin: you need to find the wire that connector has fallen off and re-connect it. then charge your battery up and all should be well.

Thanks everyone! I just had to strip back and re-connect that wire and the battery started charging again.
