starter motor problems?
Help please,
turn key press start & all i get is a rapid tapping/knocking noise. No ignition at all. Been turning over a lot slower recently. Battery seems ok . topped up water & charged all night.
Any ideas please..... Has anyone had similar problem & how much for starter & fitting if this is the problem
Cheers

nickersraybo, any luck?
You could also check the drive belt to make sure it's properly tensioned, but if your car hasn't already had a replacement battery, that's almost certain to be the prob. 5 years on one small battery is good going IMO.

It is your battery. Needs to be replaced.
