Hi. I am having occasional starting problems. Usually turn the key, one second delay, then engine turns and fires. It caused me to buy a new battery. Seemed fine after that, but it's started doing it again. Seems to happen on cold mornings.

I got underneath to check the starter motor/ solenoid, but it's covered by the belly pan. I didn't spend much time underneath because it was bloody cold out, so I checked RAVE to see what I have to do to access the starter motor. Says I have to remove the belly pan and to do so, it's necessary to disconnect the drag link and steering damper.

Is it really necessary to remove the belly pan and other bits, or is there an easier way???....... please:eek:

Cheers,,,, Brian
