Hi almost certain the the solenoid is either worn or the positive strap to solenoid connector is faulty.....looking at removing the said unit.
Question 1: those mounting nuts for the WHOLE starter ...how do you remove them..do you go under the van. I have a 1/2" kokIen rachet with extensions and do you use a extra length of torque bar over handle of rachet?
and how do you work...??? above engine OR UNDERNEATH?
Question 2: replacing the solenoid is easy as...are there best brand anyone can recommend...on EBAY.UK???? as well as BEST starter motor..will replace solenoid first
any posts for removing the starter???....can you put in a link...cheers and beers...Rick
