Inhibitor switch possibly. Does it start if you wiggle the shifter around a little?

pull the starter motor out and reco it,the brushes wear,and the solinod contacts wear out,i just had mine done recently----240,000 odd---but how many starts,some times 30 times a day and low ks traveled,autos its a must.while your at it do the alternator as well,a running one is cheaper to fix,i have spare ones reconditioned for my v8s.

Give the small wire (spade connector) on the starter motor a wiggle. This wire gets very crispy and old due to the heat down there, but give it a try anyway.

Starter relay? Located under the coolant expansion tank, I think?
Swap a couple around and see what happens. Mike

ok folks
i got a new starter motor thought id try it with the wire straight to the battery and its now trying to start just not enough charge in the battery to start it so now it seems i have bought a new starter motor when it wasnt needed but i did the wire trick the other day and it wouldnt work wtf is going on sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt y its this happening seeing as the new starter motor im thinking maybe my starter could be faulty or something i dont no all i got at the moment is a few spanners and screwdriver and a shifter until i can access more tools as mine went walking again:( how many bolts are the to take out the v8 starter? normally 2 but i have found 3 lol atm im doing it without even jacking the car upas the angle the cars ar isnt safe for a scissor jack and i dont have a trolley jack f**k its hard lol but thats life aye any help would be great i have been over the wires time and time again so i think it has to be a faulty starter motor whats ur thoughts and ideas folks cheers Drifty
