If the noise seems to come from the engine bay not the dash, Its possible that your starter motor solenoid is a bit wonky? At work |

Yeah I have that on my 'other' 4X4. Turns out the flywheel/starter ring and/or the starter are slightly worn.

I think it is coming from the engine bay. Was quite audible when I tried to start it with the drivers door open. The dealer asked exactly the same question. It will be in with them at some point next week for a check up. |

Well my beloved HSE is still at the dealers. They have managed to isolate the problem to a specific part that the starter motor connects to, can't remember exact name. Apparently gear box needs to be removed to replace said part so it'll be another few days before I get it back |

Sounds a bit odd - it is the starter ring round the outside of the flywheel that engages with the starter. that should not be a problem at such an early age. However, not properly engaging is the problme from your description.

Yep sounds like they are replacing the starter ring.

Mentioning the Starter Ring -rings a bell. I think this was the part the dealer said was at fault. There is only 2000 miles on the clock but the problem has occured since the first week I took delivery. It hasn't become any more frequent over time and hasn't been an obvious pattern to the occurance. At first I thought I was not following the starting procedure properly (first push button and auto for me in a car). Anyway, I'm glad they have found the problem, I was expecting a phone call to say they couldn't reproduce the problem, but they seem to be on the ball so far. |
