Yes - the battery was disconnected for starter replacement and checked for good contact. Everything is clean and the battery is 3 months old. I also connected another running vehicle with heavy jump leads to the terminals under the bonnet, and still had a couple of clicks before the starter turned so I assume the battery connections must be OK? Obviously the connection to the starter has been off and re-connected and that end is OK too. I did read somewhere that the cable may have some connections in it such as a fuse (on an L322 anyway) that may be a cause of high resistance, but I have no idea where this would be on mine or where to start looking,
When I saw all the posts about the starter contact issues I jumped in and assumed it would be the same issue, but would be interested to hear of anybody with the same symptoms which turned out otherwise.....
