Hi all,
am I right in thinking this is a starter motor problem?
Ive charged the battery but when I try to start it it sounds like the battery is flat. I bumped it and got it going this morning but this evening it won't start again.
Any advice would be much appreciated folks.

Do you hear it clicking when you turn the key? Most likely be your solinoid thats playing up.

Thanks guys,no I don't hear any clicking sound,it just sounds like the battery is flat but I fully charged it.
I'll check to see if the feed wire has come off.

Maybe the battery is kaput. How old is it? If some of the cells are dead no amount of charging will be enough. Does jump starting turn the starter motor?

Jump starting it will tell you if it is the battery or something else...
