I'm having increasing troubles with the starter motor / circuit: the solenoid gives a good loud click, there is bright battery light and oil light, but silence from starter motor. Can happen when warm or cold. I recently replaced solenoid, and doubled the earth braid from the starter itself. Problem is intermittent - I sometimes rock in gear in case the starter motor is locked, sometimes I just wait, and it runs eventually. One of these days it is not going to!
If all electrics are OK (I will double-check there is current to starter when I can find someone to turn the key for me), what is next step? Presumably repair or replace starter motor? Is this straightforward?
thanks!
