Hi guys and gals,
I have read a couple of posts about the above, but all suggest dead/faulty battery and that doesn't fit my symptoms.
A couple of months ago I drove the car to a garage to check the tyres. After putting air into them I turned the key to restart it - nothing. The ignition lights dimmed slightly, but no sound at all (no clicking, nothing). Battery was fine - lights, indicators etc etc all worked fine. I checked all fuses - fine. I called a recovery service. When they got there they asked what was the matter. I turned the key and guess what? Yup, started first time!
This car is used daily with no problems. then, last Wednesday afternoon, after driving it around town, I stopped for 5 minutes to pick someone up and the same thing happened! After looking around and periodically trying it, I tried bump statring it - and it started first time!
I strongly suspect the starting motor, but has anyone else had a similar experience, and if so, have they resolved it?
