Would be grateful for input on this – thank you.
I have not been driving my (2005 petrol) A170 for some time and about a week ago, I thought I had better start her up and she would not turn. I took the battery for testing and was advised to replace it, which I did. I fitted the new battery and the car still would not start. I had it towed to a garage and I have just got off the phone with them as they keep promising to have a look at it and every time I phone, they have not looked at it.
They just told me that it could be a whole day job to replace the starter motor if that is what is found wrong. Any input on this with regards to time to fit the (if it is the starter) motor ?
The car does start when bump started and runs fine – just not turning from the key.
Many thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers
