Hello All
Having some real annoying problems which i have put down to the starter solenoid on my series 3.
The starter motor runs continously even with the ignition key removed until the battery is disconected (i have a battery isolator) - at other times the starter does not turn at all when the key is turned and at other times it works fine.
The solenoid clicks when energised by directly attaching a wire from the +ve battery terminal. The solenoid appears to have no resistance accross the two main terminals, even when not energised. I have tried tapping the solenoid - to no avail.
I have changed the solenoid which seemed to solve the issue for a few months but now the same issue is back which leads me to doubt that it is a solenoid problem.
Any advice would be really appreciated - should I buy a 3rd solenoid or look elsewhere?
Thanks TheTuna
