Hi all, after 3 weeks of no turn over clicks the problem returned Had to bite the bullet and remove starter. Nice job if you have the arms and hands of a two year old. Certainly tested my determination. Striped starter and replaced contact and plunger good clean up refitted, Worth the time and...

Sorry for the delay but didn't get a chance to fit the new calliper , all done now though and all is good , pins where fine just the calliper. You where spot on when you said about them binding and when they cooled off they where fine which caused me to look at the handbrake adjustment and of...

Will do thanks for your reply

Hi all looking for some ideas , after my 2005 RR SC sport had come back from its MOT I noticed a smell of burning brake coming from the rear LHS, I striped the rear discs off and inspected the EPB all seems to be ok . The discs and shoes are fairly new and seem to be working fine. Adjusted the...

Thank you all for your knowledgable replies , you have saved me a lot of time, I do have a multimeter and will perform the suggested test and take a look at the two earths at the weekend and keep you informed. Thanks again, Paul

Update was out for most of the day but when I got back had a look at the RR. Checked battery connections found the positive was not as tight as it should be. Then I changed the starter relay over with another one which was the same. Neither of these things sorted the problem. I suppose the next...
