Any one had this problem. after 1-2 hours of mixed spirited driving and finally a motorway stretch at 75 not pushing it all on the motorway, stop the car and now on two occasions once after 5 minutes and onces after about 20 minutes turn the key and click, stater does not engage. not the noise you get with a flat battery where the starter shuttle engages and there is a dull light dimming sort of thing, this is a distinct click, not heavy enough for the starter solenoid to have actualyl made contact. On both occasions I got a socket set on one of the drive pulleys (AC compressor i think) and just turned the engine a little and then it starts no problem. I am not sure whats going on here. Battery not old still under gaurantee, and its a Bosch Starter, not sure how old cant remember when I changed that, need to look up the service history possibly 8-10 years old maybe. Any one had this sort of behaviour?
