Hi , I have a NF v8 and I'm having troubles getting it to start . I was wanting to know is there anything else that will stop it from turning over ?
The starter relay clicks in the fuse box but that's it , but if I use a screwdriver on the starter then it cranks . Beside the starter is there something else I'm missing . Battery is brand new so it's not that plus when I pull it out and use jumper lead it engages, so would this mean the starter is stuffed. |

Ok I have pulled the relay out and bridged 30 & 87 but nothing happened , so I took the wire out then a few seconds later a big cloud of smoke come from the starter I would assume the starter solenoid is gone .
