More or less summed it up in the title, but here's the details:
The car has been off the road for a couple of months just while I fix various bits and pieces on it, I've just done a stack of bits today (harmonic balancer, O2 Sensor, Crank Angle Sensor, thermostat, radiator...). I hooked a battery to it (brand new optima red-top) and turned the key.
No Joy.
The starter just keeps on clicking away trying to turn the engine. I can spin the engine by hand with a socket on the balancer so I know it's not siezed. I had my better half have a look while I was in the driver's seat, the engine slowly creeps around a little bit. The alternator fins move :thumbsup:
Anyone had this before? I'm thinking starter motor needs replacing, but want a second (3rd, 4th and 5th) opinion before a rip into it.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
