On an 01 20 hdi.....it wouldn't turn ect, so took it off and tested it, it's turning fine, well the cog's coming out when the small 8mm bolt's connected with a cable, and it's spining fine when the big live terminal's touched/connected.....so why when it's on the car, it's not turning. is there a connection from the ig switch going somewhere that's maybe causing it.
What was hapening was....when you go to start it in the mornings (especially in winter) it quite often wouldn't turn, but sometimes if you held the key on the "on", it usually caught and started.....but not this time.....hence me thinking the starter was duff. But like I say, after taking it off and putting cables on it, it's running fine as said above.....what the hell's wrong, anyone had this carry on before
