Someone help

Got a K reg cabby - Sometimes it wont start

You turn the key to the first switch, can hear the fuel pump kick in, then go to start it and all i get is (what sounds like) a relay clicking over and nothing from the starter motor????

Anyone any ideas, or is it easier to stick in a garage?

Thanks

probably a dodgy connection to the starter solenoid.

Assumign its a quiet click and not a clunk that is.

Just most the skin on your knuckles!

Lean over the back of the engine, shine a light down the back you should see a silver heat shield. The starter is under that. Lift the shield and check the connections to the starter motor
