Symptoms of the faulty starter. You hear it clicking but the bendix does not engage. Although the battery had a full load it would only start if you jump started it. Upon removal the starter was still good and the brushes showed only 20% wear for a car with 150000km which is impressive but the solenoid was the problem. Had to change the two engine mountings at R5000 zar a piece to get to the starter. Total cost R30000 zar.
