My 2005 Rangie has just developed the most annoying fault in the last couple of weeks. Mileage is 55K.
It just won't start occasionally, that is nothing form the starter but no fault readings . Sometimes the starter half turns and quits through the starting cycle but it's not a run down battery sound . If I turn ignition on/off and wiggle the selector stick back and forward it eventually starts .
I have noticed that in the recent cold weather that on starting the starter seems to labour more than normal but it always starts first time.Battery readings seem OK .
Is there a sensor somewhere?
Help??
