if you removed it gords and cleaned up the surface then refited you may not have the prob again or i suspect the earth lead may have started to beak down a new one would sort it, you can pick up one from a motor factors that would do the job

Yes, I know :roll:  It's just another job ... and I'd rather be driving it :wink:  One of these days, though, I suppose.

Might just be a faulty inhibitor switch !

Spooky:
Does the 'click' come from the starter, or from a relay somewhere?

If it's from the starter, suspect:
 a) Main Lead from battery
 b) Engine earth lead
 c) Internal Solenoid connections dirty (this happed on my 5-yr-old D2)
 d) Starter brushes shot.

If the starter does not 'click', suspect:
 a) Auto inhibitor switch
 b) Starter relay
 c) Solenoid connection on starter
 d) Starter soleniod itself.

Hope this helps ... :?

TUFFTEE:
Sounds like its an Auto and its something to do with "The Park" Switch?
