Hi,
In the interest of the next noob who goes to start their 110 and finds nothing but dash lights and a relay click when they turn the key, the problem could be a loose wire to the top of the starter motor solinoid (behind the exhaust down pipe from the back of the turbo -you don't need to remove it, just the heat shield)
You may need a whole lot of degreaser to actually see anything back there, definitely a small torch either way. And try not to arc up at SWMBO who insists now is a good time to hassle you about driving old cars.
here is a pick of the offender; it's the blade connection with the 'red and white' wire going to it (now brownish in this photo).
This isn't my car, just the pic I found that helped me decipher the lingo and get an idea of what it all is meant to look like. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php'showtopic=23626&hl=starter
I think Manic also had this problem, i found a thread of his where it had shaken loose as well.
cheers
Andy
