I've listened to your helpful video Terry. It would be even better if you could open the bonnet and place the microphone closer to the engine. However, it does sound at the moment as if the starter motor is turning but the engine isn't.

The pre-engaged starter is designed not to rotate until its drive cog is engaged with the engine. Therefore I can't see how this can be a starter motor problem.

What I would recommend next is that you remove the OSF wheel arch liner, put a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt and see if you can feel resistance commensurate with compression.

ZR?
Your first post's title says ZT 190.
Can you confirm please Terry?
