    Car sometimes never turns over on the first or second try and the problem seems to be getting worse...
    Probably the starter gone yes? Someone said that I could get it re-conditioned and it'd be fine...

    Anyone know anything about this? Prices etc?

    Interestingly odd, the starter on my van has starter acting up also, takes up to 5 clicks to get it going.
    $200 for a new one from the dealer.

    However, it's obviously the solenoid is the problem, for which I fint this simple solution, for $30.

    However, if you cannot get spares, a rebuilt one from a motor factors should work OK.
