MH>Back when I drove my 80' Malibu, I remember several times getting off work o   
   MH>to have it not start.  Most of the time it would not only be cold, but raini   
   MH>too.   
      
   MH>Laying under the car in work cloths using a pipe to smack the starter was lo   
   MH>of fun.  After the third time this happened, I decided to replace it in the   
   MH>cold instead of waiting for a nice warm day.   
      
   I had a similar Starter o na 1971 VW Square back. At times the starter   
   woudl niot wrok and crawling under the car and bridging the solenoid   
   woulr gwet it to work for a while. Even though the car was uinder the   
   Warranty the VW Dealer woudl do nothing for me because it wroked whn   
   they tried it. When it failed on a trip. Luckly in a mini mall with a   
   Auto parts Store I decided to Change the starter. Only problem is it was   
   during a wind strom and sand was blowing everywhere. Never had that   
   problem again   
   That job was not as bad as changing a 1951 Ford Three speed tranny in a   
   gravel parking lot with no rug to lay on. :-)
