Clicks but doesn't start...
...it's actually my TF, but same engine as so many Rovers
Sometimes, when I turn the key, there's just a click under the bonnet. Repeat, and it almost always starts immediately, then generally behaves for the rest of the day. Back in my day, we'd have muttered "Solenoid..." but I don't suppose we have such things nowadays? Only 21,000 on the clock - should I be worried?

Ah, well, this IS the 1.8 as it's the little TF Thanks, don't know why I thought they didn't have them any more, except a vague memory of it being something else when the 75 (diesel) failed Thanks for the link
