Hi guys, I'm new here. It took me a while to find this site as I had the THAOC bookmarked and from time to time I'd check to see if the website was back up again (it just got taken off the face of the Earth!). Anyway, after a bit of searching I found this site and I was happy to find out a lot of the guys from the old site were behind this one.
To the point now, I've had my car about 9 months now (2.2 ictdi) its been a cracking car. However up until a couple of weeks ago, the car has been struggling start first thing in the morning, or if its been parked for a while. Before it literally started on the turn of the key (after coil light disappeared) but now what happens is that I need to keep the key turned for a couple of seconds and I'm greeted by a clicking sound and then it eventually fires up. I initially thought that it might be the battery (because recently the temperatures have been quite low), but when I went to the local motorfactor's to get the battery checked, the reading came out fine. Voltage was good and under cranking, it read over 600. The guy told me the battery was not the problem and said that it may have something to do with the starter motor because of the clicking noise. Has any one had this problem on thier diesel Accord? I'd be happy if anyone shed me some light before I took it in for a diagnostic at the garage.
