Just bought a ten year old 999cc fiat uno for a girlfriend and we have found that the starter motor will not respond intermittentaly. Have checked the ignition switch wiring, the heavy wires from the battery, battery earth to engine and the solenoid wire, and all seems to be tight and in order. Symptons are that intermittently the starter will do nothing, dash lights do not dim, no click heard from the engine compartment (solenoid trying), when you turn the ignition key to start the car. Question really is, is this a repairable starter motor or is it an exchange jobby. If exchange, any tips on where I can get a cheap one or if its repairble any tips on that please.
