Hi Ant,
My C15 still going strong with 85k on the clock now.
Sometimes (randomly) when I turn the ign. key the starter motor fails to turn over. I hear a click but no starter motor turning. When this happens, I just keep trying and it always eventually starts. It sometimes goes for weeks and never fails. I have a good heavy duty Battery installed and it is always fully charged.
From my limited knowledge, I guess the possible suspect parts may be the Ign switch, the starter solenoid or the starter motor itself.
As a quick 'work around' is there a way to bypass the first two items and hotwire straight from the battery to the starter motor ? I only ask as it may get me out of trouble if parked somewhere remote and it finally fails totally.
I always carry a pair of jumper leads and wondered if they would be ok to perform this quick fix to get me home.
Any info / tips much appreciated.
Cheers
Scotty
