Clio 182 Starting issue

[Bazz182]

Hi all,

I have intermittently got a problem starting the car. It's happened half a dozen or so times now.

The lights seem fine and it ticks over but cuts out before starting...I've cleaned the crank sensor and ordered a replacement tonight.

What could this be?

Turns out it was the starter motor. I gave the crankshaft sensor a change hoping it was that, but the problem still persisted. The next on the list to check was the starter motor.

Took a whole day to change the motor as it's a real fiddly pig of a job and I've never done one before
