Hi Ron
Is this starter to be replaced issue a follow on from your "Battery Change " thread ?
If so do you know for sure that it is the starter that is at fault?
Omega starters are usually pretty robust & don't fail very often at all IMO
There did not seem to be any outcome on your "battery Change " thread . . .
The guys on here will be of the utmost help to you . . . but we need feedback from you regarding the problem .
That thread just seemed to end with no furthur response from you :-\ :-\
Also it would help if you update your profile so that oofers know exactly which model & year you have . :y
Quite likely that someone on here would assist you if you added your location as well :y

Sorry mate. It had the symptoms of cold weather. So changed the battery and now its clicking, not all the time though. Also i don,t really know how to use this site.
I have an mv6 2.6 03 plate.

The forum is easy to use , the experts on here can sort almost anything Omega IMO, but they need info from you to be able to diagnose properly & then hopefully cure the problem :y
OK lets start from the top . . . First question . . Manual or auto box ?
If auto . . check that the selector is in P or N Car will only turn over to start in those 2 positions but don't think you get a "click" if it is in one of the other positions :-\
The original problem was that car had symptoms of a low battery but had been ok up until that point ?
You then fitted a new battery & would not turn over at all .And now "its just clicking , not all the time though"
So sometimes it is doing nothing at all ?
Do you mean that you are getting a clicking coming from the starter motor ?
And are absolutley sure it is the starter motor clicking ?
Reply to these questions & we can go on from there ?
Other more experienced members should now tag onto this thread & it should be able to get sorted :y :y

If the clicking is coming from the starter motor, thats likely to be the solenoid not clicking over fully. Check battery connections, engine earth strap before condemming starter motor ;)

Agreed . . My opinion too :y :y

Thanx guy's. But it did not click until i hit the solenoid slightly due to access problembs and i have no ramps to lie underneath. If it is clicking is my starter ok? Or do i need a car sparky? What shall i do?
