Hi everyone I started a topic a while back as having problems starting my 2.3 galaxy and someone mentioned a problem with the immobiliser and a fuse or plug no.30. Where abouts would this be located. Many thanks in advance

Thank you for all of the advice and help. It's great that people are willing to give advice and pass knowledge on. Once again thankyou

Hi yes the starter turns engine over normally. However it shows no sign of trying to strike up. The rattling comes intermittently while the engine is turning over but I can't locate the source of it.I know it's a long shot but any ideas?

Thank you for that but I have found the starter may not be the problem. Basically my wife would use the car get to a destination stop turn car off. Now if she returned to the car not long after being run and try starting the car would turn over but would make a strange rattling noise. After leaving it to cool down the car would start no problem and no rattling noise.recently the car has been stood for a few weeks and went out to start it the other day and the car would turn over but make this strange rattling noise. Noticed that when turning engine off the starter would make a whining noise while disengaging so toon starter of tested and cleaned all of the leads up. Put it back on yesterday and fired straight up no problem. Tried it again later that night started fine. Wife went to it this morning won't start and making this rattling noise intermittently but the engine is turning over. Unfortunately can't pinpoint where noise is coming from either. Does anybody have any ideas what this could be. The galaxy is a 2.3 16v petrol manual. V ref. Thank you in advance

Thank you for that Paul. I will have a count of the teeth in the morning.

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and am after some info. Recently been having starting problems with my y reg 2.3 petrol galaxy. Starter has packed up think it is solenoid. A friend of mine said he hadidn't a couple spare. However when I took mine to compare the depth of the housing and shaft were different. Does anybody know how many different types of starter there are for a y reg 2.3 petrol. Thank you in advance
