S2000's started making an odd noise on cold start
So I've had my S2000 for a few months, and it has recently developed an occasional chirping noise on cold start.
It doesn't always make it, and this is the first time I've recorded it ( after many attempts)
The noise can last for up to half a second

Any help would be greatly appreciated
53 plate ~ 66k all fluids topped up and FSH

Starter motor / sticking solenoid. Fairly common given the age of the car.

I second what UF said above.
I had a similar sound, which got worse. Read the thread about cleaning/re-greasing the starter that UF posted a while back - I did and am sooooo thankful!
Good luck getting to the top mount bolt on the starter motor!
