|  Starter motor trouble My starter motor has been requiring frequent taps of encouragment recently to get it going, but today it would only respond to violent hitting whilst cranking so clearly something needs doing. Question is, can I remove it and do anything to fix it myself or is a new one required? If so how much are they new? Cheers |

| Re: Starter motor trouble Either that or the solonoid's gone. Any decent auto electrician will be able to work out which and fix it. |

| Re: Starter motor trouble Easy to test too, with 2 probably good starters and one proven good solonoid. |
