LR Assistance have just been and apparently the starter motor is knackered so it's going to the dealer in the morning |

When you push the button everything lights up normally and you get a metallic click from the solenoid on the starter motor. it'll do it a few times and then usually start. When it does start it fires instantly and turns over as normal.

I know how the starters work as I've rebuilt several of them over the years, quite interesting bits of kit in some ways.

Well after two days of hearing nothing from the dealer I rang them today to find out what was going on with the car.

Interesting. My vehicle just had the starter motor replaced on the 4.4TDV8 engine.
