360 GLS, starter problems
 

my starter has been fine on my 360 gls 2litre 1984 but yetserday after a ****load off rain it keeps failing and I ma unable to start her up. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't and I have had to bump start her. I have checked the plugs and points for moisture and grease but nothing any dieas or anyome with a similar problems?

So what are the symptoms, then?

Does it only click?
Or does it crank and not start?
Is the cranking normal or slow?
Does the starter spin but not engage (makes a noise like a washing machine)?

Tell us a bit more.

full key turn, you can hear it click and try, no noise at all though, no grating or cranking

My experience with this sort of thing is that you can't repair this yourself and expect it to last more than a few weeks. Bite the bullet and fit an exchange starter (not a scrapper).

this actually sounds most like it may be a simple connection issue between the transformer (which puts the click noise out) and the starter. perhaps the moisture has shorted something? put a multimeter over the 2 connections going into/out of the starter motor to find out
