Hi Rick,

=20

I saw all the earlier replies.=20

Still it is good to be sure, that the battery is not low.

My BGT once had a faulty alternator, where there were leaky diodes.=20

I measured a continuous current when the engine was shut off and all =
electricity users also were switched off.

So the alternator has been overhauled and a new diode pack was the =
solution.

=20

I also once had a worn thread where the battery line was connected to =
the starter solenoid.

This caused poor connections and a click was the result, where the =
battery was not flat.

A replacement solenoid solved this issue.

=20

Hope you can find the solution.

Cheers,

Hans

Hey friends,

   Long time, no type.

   Have any of you used the high torque gear reduction starters? If so, =
happy with them. My E-Type has decided to 'click' rather than start. The =
classic whack with a hammer hasn't helped. And since it's its an =
automatic, I can't roll-start it.
