Ripped the old starter motor out of the Forester.....
We were getting the "click click click", symptomatic of a solenoid on its way out.
When one person turned the key and the other (me...) tapped the solenoid, it'd fire up immediately.
So, off to the wreckers for a good 2nd hand unit - $85.00 with 6 months exchange warranty - installed it and all is well in the Forester realm again.
Bit of a bastard of a job....simple enough but not a lot of wiggle room in the engine bay and plenty of sharp clamps and clips to open my arm up
Done.....beer o'clock.
I work cheap !!
