I came to start my car last night after work turned my key all lights on dashboard on as normal it just wouldnt fire. It wouldnt turn over at all couldn't here the starter motor even making a clicking noise. So I bumped it and after that it seemed to work fine all night while I turned it off n started about 6 times.. untill this morning and it won't turn over again.... any help would be much appreciated

Could it be started solenoid, starter motor itself, any ideas would be helpfully as its used daily to get to work and back

Cheers Phil

I've got a problem very simmilar to this, I initially thought, that it was the battery gone but is the starter motor they sometimes get dead spots on them and you turn passed them most of the time. Then you land on them and cant start

Sounds like the starter motor brushes, if you can find an auto electrician that will sell you the brushes there easy to change. just be careful not to loose any parts when you take the motor apart.

Sounds about right. You may be able to do it by removing the rad and slam pannel. Only issue with that would be that the air-con would need re-gassing. But i'm sure that doesn't work anyway!

if it does it again before you get chance to change it, try smacking it with something
