more starter problems

Post by **robintb** » 10 Aug 2007, 13:13

Hello to all,

if your starter solonoid clicks but the beast doesn't turn over, and you are sure that its getting enough juice, does it more than likely mean the starter needs replacing or could it be just the bushes? I was told that this could be the solonoid (and from what I understand you cant get just a new solonoid).

If it is the bushes, I'm not going to be able to do it by the sounds (no time at the mo - getting married) - any body got some good suggestions who could help out without forking out silly garage prices in the Brighton area?

Many thanks

Robin.....

bushes....really quite quick if a bit fiddly to do! See the wiki - there are two bits of info on changing the bushes.

here's one on 2.o cu
