Starter?
« on: 08 February 2011, 11:23:38 »
after checking basics got car started after giving starter gentle tap. Now suspect either bad connection at starter or starter u/s. Its covered in oil probably from cam cover leak. Any other views?

Wouldn't help being covered in oil, try cleaning the connections, especialy the earth.

But generally a sticking starter means that the solenoid is on it's way out :'(

Could go forever now and never miss a beat... May stick frequently, may only last one more start... Unfortunately there is no easy answer other than refurbishing/replacing  :(
