G'day Auszookers :helloo:
The misses vitara is having a starting problem :roll:
The other day i went to start it and it just went click :evil: got the jumper leads out and she started, so i thought the battery was on its way out :roll:
She started fine for a few days and then them same click :evil: so i went down and got a new battery and the same thing click :evil: :evil:
At this stage i thought starter motor (even though its less then a week old as is the motor aswell :evil: ) so i gave it a tap with a length of bar and it started :roll:
Now the last couple of times she has started with no problem till just before when Kate was at the shops i had to go down to try to get it started in the pouring rain :evil: jumper leads and tapping the starter motor and she still wouldn't start till five mins later when i was soaked to the bone click and she started :roll:

I'm putting it down to starter motor but i'm not 100% sure as it's less then a week old :evil: what do you guys think?
It's a 92 LWB EFI vitara

Cheers Joe :helloo:

Take it back to the shop that did the work/supplied starter...

Sound's like a sticky solenoid..

yep, just take the solenoid of & clean the contact's....
Try the relay first, may save you pulling the starter out..
