turtle:
Problems starting Turtle!!!  :oops:  :oops:  AGAIN......


Problem started yesterday, at Beaulieu wounldn't start for the journey home, was given a tug and she started. Had a new battery and Alternator fitted could it be the starter motor? When key is turned it just clicks.

Had to get a taxi to work this morning £6.60 just to go 4 miles what a rip off... got the compay Astra for the next couple of days  :cry:  while I get Turtle sorted ready for Billing.

V8MoneyPit:
Sounds like the solenoid. Later cars are part of the starter motor and come with a reconditioned unit.

Ben:
Before you spend any money, check if your battery cables are corroded... Mine had corroded in the clamp and simply cleaning off the cable and re-fitting the clamp has sorted it out.

I'd already bought the new starter motor as I assumed the worst immediately  :(

Cheers

Ben

hobbit:
Yes good point from ben,
Try running a jump lead from the negative to the engine block somewhere, might be a bad engine earth strap

kev

turtle:
Just replaced the earth strap on the motor (Sorry Ed Wanderer, and co did)

Battery is fine check's seems to have a good level and my battery charger is showing green, stripped out the starter and taken to a repair centre should have it back tonight.
