the motor is not turning over no click or nothing. the car was starting as if it had a flat battery the last couple of days then it just didn't start, tried 3 different working batteries and same thing. Did a search here and found that a few people had the same problem as me and turned out to be the starter. Is that the location for the TT or v8?

I found it, gave it a few hard knocks with the hammer and the car started. Turned it off then tried again and it started again. Its definitely the starter that's playing up, ill be replacing it this week hopefully.

In the old days that used to mean the brushes were on the way out (I think!). I may well be wrong as I'm talking from my Mini driving days a decade or so ago. In them things I never bothered getting parts rebuilt as spares were literally everywhere. Pull out U/S part and replace with newer item. Meant that I never actually found out what caused the problems though...
