starter motor works fine from cold ? but not wen not cold ??
Discussion
starter motor problems - seems to work fine from cold and sometime s fine wen hot -but quite regularly doesn't (no clicking sound at all ) as i have had to bump start the car 4 times since friday ( which was 2 days ago )- you can't always park on hill so its proving to be quite a tiresome ritual.
i do remember once that the starters can get a problem on one part of them wen they get hot ..?
but also remember that - once there was an issue with the immobiliser not releasing for some reason after one stops briefly ...?

A lot of '70's and '80's Alfas suffered with the same problem. The cure is to wire a relay between the starter feed from the key and the solenoid feed. Maybe worth a try?
That is what I have done, but before doing that it is worth simply replacing the starter motor relay with a brand new relay.fubar sounds said:
In the defence of the starter motor being the culprit sometimes it sounds hideous whilst starting llike a lot if nail s scrapping
Ah does not sound like immobiliser, most likely cause if the motor is ruff remove the starter and bench check it would be my next move.I believe there is a clutch in the starter which can wear out and cause that grating sound. It needs sorting assist can damage the teeth on the flywheel which means you would need a new fly as well as the starter sorting out
I had my starter repaired when it started to make those noises and it seems OK at the moment.
