Hello all,
Our trusty family P6 was running like a dream last weekend, two big trips around the country, motorways and traffic and didn't miss a beat. Parked up at home for two hours then went to restart and just got a clicking sound - first thought I'd left something electrical on but a new battery wired in did the same, bridging the solenoid nuts with a screwdriver just sparked and did nothing. Bump started fine so have not got it in the garage and wondering if the starter has jammed (even tried hitting it with a hammer but still clicking the same) or something else? Initial crawlings around underneath makes it look a bit tricky to get the starter out....happy to do that if it sounds like a dead/jammed starter, but would rather not if it sounds like something else.
Any advice welcomed.
Cheers
Joe
