1999 1.9 d starter motor? - carlwest
how do i check if my starter motor is any good before i buy a new 1can i check it leaving it on the car, or if not taking it off ?

what it is, --- i have fitted a new diesel pump and ive had trouble starting it again, turning the engine over the battery went flat i jumped it with jump leads but just got a click i tride it a few more times and the same thing just a click and then nothing not even a click,the battery is fully charged i turn the key all the lights come on on the dash and all the driving lights are fine. have i worn the starter out? how do i check?
also if the battery goes flat does it do anything to the immobiliser?
i no theres a lot of ? here but i not to good at electrics

Have you any means of checking for 12v power - a bulb and two bits of wire will do?
