We've had the car for 3 years now and its always been a great starter whether its minus 10 or plus 30, turn the key and the starter turns and it seems to fire on the first cylinder and its running.
However recently its doing something a bit strange, it fires as normal but seems to kick the starter out of engagement but the engine stops. If i keep the key turned the starter still runs but isn't engaged.
Mostly it does this once and the second attempt gets it running, on sat it was luke warm and took about 12 goes to get it running.
Any thoughts appreciated
Edit - its a 1.9 diesel
