Maybe a sticky solonoid in the motor itself

Sometimes just nothing. Are these known to go? The problem is the intermittent nature of the fault. Cheers, dan |

Could it not be something simple like a poor earth ? |

ive have experienced a solenoid with moisture in it, it became intermittent the fix was to whack it witch freed it up

just had a MPi with something similar. after changing the starter i could check the old one. the tiny wire that goes from the solenoid to inside the motor was broken just enough to make problems whenever it wanted to. right at the rubber cover where the wire comes through |

cheers gents. have changed the starter, and also the engine compartment relay. hoping that this is sorted now, always a doubt in the back of your mind though.

this starts great, but earlier on one occasion It just clicked on the turn of the key. tried again and it was fine. so the problem is still there. im now thinking it could be ignition switch/a wiring /earth problem. not sure what else to look at to be honest. cheers, dan |

Go through voltage checks/wiring checks if you know how mate. |
