Re: moggy growling

Before I start taking everything out to get to the starter motor, the alternator/fan belt are not moving, so along with the ehhhh sound does this all point to the starter motor?

Thanks everyone for all your help

Can't see anything obvious and it was fine a month ago. Could this be a dead starter motor or is it just angry at being woken up? (Tried rocking the ...
