Hi guys i have an 03 auto TD5 and just recently when i go to start her up i just get a clicking sound, after turning the key a few times she turns over ok and starts. This problems has been going on for a few weeks intermitantly but has now started to happen regularly is the starter on the way out.

Hightower:
Yup, sounds like the starter solenoid is on it's way out.  Same happened to mine.  Best to get it sorted before it finally gives up.

Read somewhere that its just a case of replacing the copper contactors, does anyone know if this is true and is it an easy fix.

Paul:
Yes that right... It's quite a straight forward job, Repair kits are available on ebay
