Hi all
My 1995 2.5td 4WD has a bit of an issue starting. The was (is)? a drain on the battery and even when the batteries charged there is clicking from the starter motor. A mobile auto electrician took a look and we tested the charge from the alternator which seemed fine so he suggested I put in a new starter motor which I did, but I still have the same problem.
I assume the solenoid is in the starter itself and therefore with a new one okay, so I'm a bit befuddled to say the least?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Re: Starting issues
Did the sparks test the battery?
Could be it's cobbled and not holding any kind of charge, especially if the parsitic drain has left it flat for a while.
The Aldi/Lidl radios can suck a battery flat fairly quickly.
Sorry you have a problem, but welcome

HI, did you test the starter motor before you fitted it ??? and made sure that the battery posts/clamps and earth connections are clean and secure .
Take care
