Hi everyone. This is my first post on here and I hope you guys would be able to help me out. I bought a 2007 Fiat Panda (110k miles) 2 months ago. First 3 weeks the car would start first time no problem and it drives good too. Until the 4th week I drove to the shops was in for 30 minutes and by the time I got out put my key in the ignition the car wouldn’t start. When I turn the key there is no crank all I hear is like a “click” and nothing else. I kept trying for ages then all of a sudden it started all okay. The car was fine for a few days after this till one day I finished work late went in the car tried to start it then the same thing happened only hear a “click” when the key is in the ignition. I phoned recovery who came out and said your battery is fine then the guy tapped the starter motor with a hammer while I had the key inside the ignition and it started. The recovery guy said that it’s the starter motor. The car was again fine for a few days then it happened again. I then took it to a mechanic on Thursday just there and had a new BOSCH starter motor fitted and a brand new battery. The car was working fine for 1 day then the same thing has happened again. What else can I possibly do, the car won’t crank when turning the key although a brand new battery and starter motor has been fitted. Has anyone went through this before and can advise me on what to do?
Thank you
