Hi guys,

thanks for the quick and lot of response on my starter problem. I'm 
quite shure it isn't the battery voltage (quite new battery and correct 
voltage - I checked it) and neither the cdi-unit (checked that thing 
too). 

I'm afraid it is the brushes (or however the correct term for this 
things may be in english) of the starter - that's what I already 
suspected. 
I knew that way of "starting with the help of a hammer" already from the 
old Opel Kadett of a friend some 13 yers ago (We once had to do it on 
the airport of Samedan near St. Moritz in Switzerland. In front of a 
bench with some airforce vetterans the car refused to start - so we did 
it like you would start an old plane. My friend in the car - me in front 
with the hammer. After calling "Ignition", "Contact" I hit the starter - 
and the engine ran. We had some aplause after this procedure :-)))  

But I never ever would hit my beloved @ with a hammer!!! :-))) So I'm 
afraid I'll have to get the starter out and fix it - sh..!

Servus, Micha };-)
