Hi all,

Well I went ahead and did it - Removed the starter, undid the solenoid plate and cleaned the contacts (they were quite badly pitted). After this I refitted everything (battery box, air cleaner etc) and tried to start the car...

Just the single "click" and nothing else.

I double checked the battery charge and used a booster too just to be certain but no luck.

Any ideas as to what a good next step in the diagnosis may be?

Thanks,

Andy.

ps... I've heard something about a starter inhibitor switch. Is this something easy to get to and if so, is there a way that I can bypass it to rule this out as a potential cause?

I've sen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROVER-75-2-0-V...item5881f9bc9e

on ebay however it doesn't say that it is the one for the automatic so I'm not sure whether to just buy it or not. The part number is;
MAKE; DENSO
DENSO CODE; 228000-7620
PART NUMBER; NAD101180
