FridgeFreezer Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Does it try to turn at all? It could be a dicky battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisW70 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 What engine is it? There is an issue with the Rover L series starter motors where the copper contacts in the splendid wear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisW70 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Solenoid not splendid! Bluddy predictive text! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisW70 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just looked at the eBay link, the starter on my Rover was playing up last year with similar symptoms, fitted one of those kits cured it on mine. If you do go down this route be careful with the battery connections as they are copper nuts on copper studs and can strip very easily!

FridgeFreezer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 A splendid sounds much better than a solenoid, I'd fit one of those - who wants to post up in the part numbers forum and ask the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
