My 1982 diesel westy has just started exhibiting the following symptoms:
Often when attempting to start when the vehicle is cold all I get is a
click.  If I continue to back the starter key off and turn it again, the
starter eventually comes suddenly to life.  This does not appear to be a
battery issue as the starter turns easily once it starts cranking.  Any
thoughts?
