2nd Generation quick starter motor Q..

I'm pretty sure my starter motor has been on its way for about 3months, but just making sure. When you turn the ignition on to start the car and all it does its "click" thats the stuffed starter motor right? Eventually turns on after about 10-20 attempts..

cheers for any help!

It's most likely your starter solenoid, which is attached to the top of the starter. You can replace that or just replace the whole starter, which is what I did.

^ Actually, it's usually the contacts inside the starter's solenoid that go and cause this problem. Do a search for "starter contacts" and read up on the problem and it's cures.

Check the "starter relay" thread that is stickied at the top of this section of the forum...
