About 25-30% of the time when I start the XJ I get a click from the solenoid, a pause of about second and then the starter engages and turns the engine over. The rest of the time it turns over immediately.
The battery voltage drops to approx 9.5V on starting with or without the fault. The starter is the Mitsubishi with solenoid attached. So is it a new starter required?
Just spent a real cold and wet afternoon lying under the car removing the starting cleaning it and electrical contacts as much as I could to no avail.
Real b**ger as the TJ is still out of action awaiting parts from the US and I have to drive to Plymouth Monday.
