New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Alright chaps I was having a merry christmas until i went to start the 5 this morning, and the starter is clicking but not turning. Am i right in thinking the clicking noise is the solenoid pushing the motor out to engage with the flywheel? Or is the clicking noise the solenoid not pushing the motor out enough so it wont turn over?
I have given the little white wire contacts at the back of the starter a clean but that didnt make much difference. Do i need to clean the header tank connector or is this not a problem as i am getting a click?
This is well annoying!! I really cannot be arsed changing the starter motor
Cheers for your help
