The motor brushes can get sticky and lose contact with the commutator, giving similar symptons. Try giving the starter motor a couple of light raps with a hammer if it plays up again.

Have had both D2's require the solenoid to be changed in the last couple of months, get it done fast, on the D2 got only two starts and on the D2a 4 to 6 starts when they started to stop starting, the coppers were totally shot and perished to nothing on both.
The top bolt is a bit of a bitch to get to and locate, the rest, easy peasy.
I did that 7 years ago. Worth a try but!Quote:

Well today was a bit of a shamozzle. I was able to loosen one of the 13mm bolts, the lower one, could not shift the other. Decided that I will take the car in for repair somewhere. I re attached the electric cables and gave the key a turn. It started first time, 8 9 times in a row it started first time. I am wondering if the diesel from the leaky FPR may have caused this problem.
If the starter got a good drenching then yes / maybe the cause of your starting problem. If it were me though I’d not give up the opportunity to refurb the stater solenoid.Quote:
