I've had a couple of starter issues over the wkend - I drove 130 miles Thursday night, come Friday morning I went to start and nothing, voltage read 12+v lights etc working, but starter not turning at all. Jump start from another car started almost immediately, assumed I'd left something on over night which had drained the battery just enough. No issues for the rest of the wkend, passed MOT, multiple short trips stops and starts. Drove back into London yesterday morning, all good until I pulled up at the garage, switched off engine for 2 mins and when I returned exactly the same - voltage but nothing from the starter. Called RAC, checked battery, seemed fine, earth ok, alternator ok, current at starter motor and started when starter motor hot wired - then started several times immediately after unaided...
Not really sure what to do next to find the root of the problem, could it still be a duff battery? bad connection from battery to starter motor? Kev had mentioned adding a relay for when starter gets hot...
Would love to get an answer oneway or another as I'd hoped to take in on holiday this wkend...
any thoughts or experience of similar?
thanks. Ben
