Hello all
I had the starter motor changed about 5 years ago maybe 6 I'm not exactly sure now but it was the first time it was changed since '87 and yesterday I had the first problem I have had with the starter motor. It just clicked and didnt start the engine.
I called CAA (Triple A) and the driver after trying to bash the motor from above with an iron rod with little success lifted the front end of the car up with his tow truck and then went under the car and tapped the motor while I tried to start It, it worked and everything has been fine today but I am now worried of course the motor is going?
I guess I would really like to know is what is the reason the motor works after tapping it, is it a good idea to change the motor NOW and is there any way I can get a good cheap one? 8)
thanks in advance
Michael
