Hey all,
I think I know the answer to this, but thought I'd check with the real experts...
So for a few months now my cruiser occasionally fails to start - hear a click, but nothing happens. Popping the bonnet and smacking the starter fixes it, so I guess I need a new starter motor. My friendly local garage said this is pretty pricey, but I could just try changing the solenoid (if I can get hold of one). Does this sound sensible / feasible? Is it possible to repair the current starter?
I read in another thread that it can be the starter relay, but I'm not sure that makes sense in my case, given that giving the motor a good thwack fixes the issue.
Thanks all!
Ed
