Starter Motor

My landy is having trouble starting the batteries are fine, and when i turn the ignition it clicks, now i reckon it is a sticky solenoid in the starter motor, where is this found on a V8 engine? whitch side is it on? Cheers, Rob

try lumping the starter with a sheffield then try it, if it works yer starter is kaput

whats a sheffield yella?

Same as a Birmingham screwdriver.

i think yella is refering to the sheffield fine adjuster which is a popular tool among many FIY mechanics. it has a variety of uses including the freeing up of stuck starters , brake drum removal, battery terminal fitting,door catches adjustment, and body panel aligement. unfortuatly it cannot be use to fix bad spelling except in certain circumstances.
if any other member would like to add there own prefered use for this wonder tool i'm sure we would all love to share .
my own favorite is its use as a replacment key to allow entry to vehicle when you have lost yours.

whats their proper name?

you tell him yella

It might be a 14lb hammer ...

according to my dad, it was an irish screwdriver.
useful for opening beer bottles too.
