Hi all, anyone else experienced any starter motor problems? I am getting a situation where I can sometimes get nothing, sometimes it wil click, or sometimes it will start perfectly. Any suggestions appreciated👍
 
Not had any issues on the Z4, but on the M5 and Alfa it tended to either be a sticky starter solenoid (M5) or ignition switch (Alfa).
 
I had seen a post re ignition switch problems,does that involve new switch and new keys etc or is it a repairablr wiring fault.? Thanks 👍
 
Nope, and only a ten minute job

I bought one of these from Quarry Motors for a tenner.

Cheers srhutch, where does this fit? Quarry motors ones i take it are s/h ? Is it not better to fit new or are they unavailable or silly money? Sorry to be thick 👍
