Hi Tony

I checked the wiring and was the milliamp draw and worked every time. Took car to work and during getting starter out saw the main batt cable was pointing up towards bulkhead and saw marks in sound deadening. When i got starter out the rear of the solenoid was cracked ,fitted new starter and wiring correctly all ok now. when i told him he informed me that previous owner had clutch done 6 months ago.
Thanks for the info it helped a lot

Ian
