    Default Starter sticking on when running ?

    Just changed the headgasket on my mates corsa and when we start the car the starter keeps turning until you turn the car off, i dont think its the ignition switch as it goes off when you turn the engine off and leave the ignition on.

    I cant see what can have happened is it just coincidence?
    Can you change the the soleniod or is it a complete starter swap?

    Had this with my corsa diesel years ago

    A clout with a hammer on the solenoid cured it!

    Yeah could mean that - its only the solenoid sticking so 99% if you get a good hit on it then your cured
