Appears to work? Is the engine turning over.
I ask because recently mine has been acting a little strange (08 35 XS). In my case a couple of times it appears that the starter will initially react and then nothing happens after that.
I am thinking it may have something to do with the brakes. I state this because if I retry it and hit the brakes a couple of times it seems to take off.
Problem is that it is not consistant enough for me to simply take it in and say 'fix it'. I still may take it in to see if there is something easy to find like a loose connection, etc. but I have a feeling it will have to present itself a little bit more to make it easier to find.
