Holden vl calais 308
Hey guys having trouble with me vl calais 308. Ive changed 4 starter motors 2 brand new bosh starter motors gave up then baught a Chinese hi torque it worked fine for about 3 weeks then gave up, so then i put a second hand starter in worked for about a week and stopped.

When i turn the key over i can hear the relay clicking theres power on my dash. So I've changed the alternator (brand new) connected new wiring to the starter, new terminals. Battery ive changed. Can anyone please help find this problem much appreciated

Have you done anything to the car before it started going through starter motors?

Are your spacers on the starter in correctly? Some need spacing, some don't. If it's not spaced and it should be, it will munch starters.
