Guest Ross84 Posted February 7, 2006 As above, ive got a problem with my starter motor sticking, ive taken it apart and greased the spindle which the teethed cog should move up and down on and also put a little penetrating oil on the spring of the plastic clamp inside. Basically tapping it with a hammer usually makes its start, as does the knocks and bumps of a reasonable journey but if the car fails to start on the first attempt then i can hear the starter motor whirring away quietly but not engaging and there is embarrassing scenes with the bonnet up. Is there anything I can do to get it going, im reluctant to spend £65 on a new one as an engine conversion is on the cards soon and the breakers didnt seem to have any similar models in (1360 8v carbed). Any help appreciated as ive got the day off work today and im hoping to get it fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 137 3 Cars Posted February 7, 2006 Your solinoid is on its way out, just get a good 2nd hand one, any tu engine will do, so 106, saxo, ax, other base model 205 etc should share the same one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
