Hi All,


Hopeing someone has experienced this issue and knows how to fix it.


Ive got an small intermittant issue with starting my 03 auto coupe that i cannot work out why its doing it.


Every now and then (usually at least once a week) i come to start the car and the starter doesnt engage straight away on the key turn. I turn the key and get a 'clicking' sound (usually between 2 and 6 clicks) and then the starter engages and the car fires up as usual. Runs fine until i shut it off and then i have the same problem starting it again.


The unusual part is that when i disconnect the battery, leave it a min and then re-connect the battery. The issue seems to resolve itself and the car then starts up fine on the 1st turn of the key. The problem seems to always return though and its at random time intervals between the disconnecting the battery and the problem returning.


Car does have a small battery drain but ive just replaced the battery recently and its currently holding a full charge.


Anyone come accross this issue or know what might be causing the problem?


Many thanks

Ash
