Yaris not turning over - what could it be?
Started the car, reversed 10 ft switched off to speak to my brother. Now engine doesn't turn over. No click or anything from ignition. Battery fully charged.

The starter motor must be jammed on the starter ring. On a level surface, put the car in 1st gear and with the help of a few friends try pushing it backwards and forwards. That might free it.
