Starter Motor Problems
Discussion
Happened today. Just picked up my lunch, get into the car, turn the key - all lights and fuel pump work, but no sound of the beast coming into life!!
A quick call to Hillfoot (car supplier) in Sheffield - they suggest the battery is knackered - I humour them while I can find the number of TMS in Melton.
TMS suggest that a common fault on early? Chims and Griffs are that the starter motors sometimes stick when they get hot - suggested putting car into gear and push it a few times (may help release sticky motor) or if leave car for a few minutes to cool and motor could free itself.
Rocking/leaving car worked and, touch wood, no problems the rest of day.
Anyone else had similar problems?
