Initially when trying to start the car it would just click until it eventually started however, after a couple of weeks it wouldn't start at all (apart from a bump start).
I fitted a 'starter motor solenoid repair kit' and it started great for a fortnight until the clicking problem re-appeared and it again failed to start.
I then bought a second-hand starter motor and fitted the repair kit to it before putting it on the car. It started great for a week but now I'm back to square one as it's just clicking and won't start again! :doh:
The battery is fairly new and it continues to click even with a fully charged booster pack connected and I've checked all connections/contacts are good. I've tried giving the starter a whack and rocking the car in gear but still no joy.
I'm close to buying a brand new starter but am wondering if something else could be causing this fault such as a intermittent fault on the ignition switch??
Any advice much appreciated...thanks.
