Starting problems

[spamwell Member Find all posts View Profile Close spamwell]

I seem to be developing clicky disease, every few times I go to start it all I hear is a click and she won't turn over, have already removed and cleaned the contacts on the inhibitor switch, is there any common problems for these I need to know?

Hey spamwell, is your battery knackered?

Sounds like the alternator (I think) is packing it in. This happened in my 90 and after the whacks with a hammer stopped fixing it they replaced with a reconditioned one.

Could be the battery, or the actuator on the starter.

It's probably the starter solenoid.
If you remove the starter motor (hard job), there's a test you can do to determine if it's the motor or solenoid. It's described in the Haynes workshop manual.
Cleaning or replacing the solenoid components can resolve the issue for a while, until you punish it with more deep crossings and mud.

Please post what worked.

I had the same problem, tested my battery that was weak, replaced it and haven't had the problem since (2 months).
