Thanks you, just had the same problem, I thought it was battery first so changed that and then gave the starter a bang when that didn't work and hey presto it now works.whenimeetgod wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 4:12 pm Quick update - starter motor was indeed the culprit. Sorted quickly
What a mine of information this place is.
Will have to get it replaced.

Replaced the starter motor this morning took about an hour in total so not a bad job to do to be fair.Boris wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2017 8:46 pmThanks you, just had the same problem, I thought it was battery first so changed that and then gave the starter a bang when that didn't work and hey presto it now works.whenimeetgod wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 4:12 pm Quick update - starter motor was indeed the culprit.
