Hello people

I have a problem and need help. The problem I have is on turn over. I put the key in and turn it I can hear the starter motor clicking but it just clicks and the engine does not start. Then turn the key back to off and car will then start when turn it again.

I had this problem a couple months ago but only did it once, then not for ages then it started doing in again couple weeks ago. Most of the rime the car will start first time just on acouple of occasions.

Anyone got any ideas where to start checking?

Sounds like the starter motor mate.


If it the starter it may keep doing this before it gives up one day...

You will have to have it removed and sent to a repair place for them to test the unit. I don't think there is a way to test them on the car?
