    hi there

    bit of an odd one I have, the van is a hi top boxer 2.5 and its a 99...

    there is a bit of an interrmittent issues with the starter, if the engine is cold.. hasnt been started for a while.. even 30 mins... the starter works perfect.. but if you stop for only a few mins.. or even try to stop and restart the enginer.. she just clicks...

    I had heard the earthing strap can go a bit green and cause issues.. but I wanted to see if anybody else had this issue....

    sounds like the starter is knackered.. but anybody any other thoughts

    Sounds like the solenoid is sticking on the starter (it's a wee cylinder shape on the side of the starter). I experienced similar on my old Ducato and got progressively worse over time. Removed starter and had the solenoid replaced for around €50. Here's a link which might give you a idea. Any mechanic of Auto electrician should be able to sort it out.
