The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Went to my 1850 auto this afternoon and on turning the key with the car in park - no response at all.The car as always started first time but today nothing.Eventually found the starter motor and solenoid after jacking up the car.Traced the wires back to a multi plug, checking for loose terminals and everything seems fine.Looked for a nut on the end thinking I could release the starter if it was jammed but there isn't one so gave the starter a gently tap with a hammer and tried it again and it did one click but then nothing.
I don't really know where to start and obviously can't take it to the garage without a transporter. I just think it might be something simple as it has always worked fine before.
Any help would be appreciated. Alan
