When it come sto cars im a complete moron, yesterday went to start the car up and nothing happens, u turn the key but it does not roll over and the starter motor does not click or make a sound, ive tested the battery and seems to be fins, the lights, radio, heating all work but it refuses to turn over or even make a sound.
Does it sound like the starter motor has gone ??

Could be the solenoid has packed up... Try kick-starting it, if its manual transmission. Also, try bridging the starters terminals with an insulated screwdriver. If it kicks/whirrs its probably not at fault. Check the wiring running toward the starter thoroughly too.

put car in 2nd gear. keep the clutch pressed. tell someone to push the car hard... when it gains momentum to a fair extent leave the clutch with a jerking effect (but not all the way), enuff to crank the engine up.
u can also try to jump start the car 2 see if the crank is fine and then drive to the service center.

Any luck with the car, mate? Could be any of a host of probz, including stuck bendix gear, altho i doubt its that drastic. Without more detailed info it's difficult to hazard an accurate guess as to the extent cause of your car's immobility...
