Why Is It Always Cold / Raining When........

.. your starter motor decides to start clicking a few times before it finally springs into life? Already used the search engine to find advice on removal and fitting new contacts etc, but would it have been too much to ask for it to have waited until summer?

It's called "sod's law"

starter motors i know naff all about, but the song, incase you were wondering is by Travis - Why does it always rain on me?

Just as popeye says sods law, it means that in the height of summer you will only have overheating problems, or the electric windows all fail. Winter is reserved for the non-starting or major works.

Who's bright idea was it to buy a surf that needs an mot in February i've been pish wet through checking the damn thing over

I know that feeling ........if the weather had been better i might have finnished the truck by now ..........Oh for a big garage or a barn

dont worry too much yet as my started started doing this too, ordered bits and found out how to sort the problem and it sorted it self! hopefully yours will mdo the same and wait till the summer. (better get it done in the warm and dry cos if i dont we all know it WILL break next winter!)

mine did the clicking thing

not heard the clicking since

Hmmmm. Doesn't seem to do it when warm. Then again it doesn't struggle to turn the engine over one it has decided to do the job it's designed for. Ameter is showing correct charge rate (assuming the ameter is functioning correctly). Tested batteries and they are holding a charge.

With twin batteries is one a liesure pack and the other for starting etc or do they work in tandem?
