Default HELP!

Hi all,

recently the CSL has been starting on and off as I don't use it much. I searched the forum and had the battery checked and had it replaced. Before replacing it, the shop checked to see if it was charging and they said it was.

Well, today I went for a drive about 20mins and then parked it to get a drink, came back about 20mins later and the car had the same symptoms as before I changed the battery. (Battery is disconnected when I don't use the car)

1. When I turn over the car, I just get a click sound (only 1 click, no multiple)
2. I read on the forum that some members had similar issue and they decided to rock the car to try and move some part in the starter motor so it would engage, so I decided to give it a shot. After rocking the rear trunk, I turned the car over and it started but the start seemed kind of weak in sound, not the usual strong grunt.

Do you guys think its the starter motor that's buggered or you think its something else? I don't get any flickering lights, just when it won't start the engine indicator is on.

Thx for any help!
