Hi everyone,

I've got a 1996 Carisma 1.8, which normally runs without problems.
However, on two occasions in the last couple of months I've had
trouble starting it. On those occasions when I tried to start the car,
the ignition lights came on but the starter motor failed to turn at
all. I tried turning it over a few times but with the same result,
then left it for about 20 minutes. I then tried starting it again and
it worked - the starter motor turned and the engine started.

Any idea what might be the cause?

Thanks,

Hajo
