Can you hear the starter solenoid click in and out when you turn the ignition?

Before fitting the new starter motor did you check it was working ?

Is the earth strap secure?
 
is there a starter solenoid that could be sticking? or a dodgy earth.
mine used to have similar syptoms that were sorted with alot of WD40
 
Just removed the ign switch and cleaned with contact cleaner. I fitted the plug connector back on tightly as well. As i tried to start her i noticed the TEMP neadle shot straight up to the red and the red warning light flashed!







Really confused now!



I think the problem with yours is the ign switch part no. yxb100350



Hope that helps





Is that what cured yours then
