Hi Paul

That is a really nice looking motor, and you are very welcome to the club.

When I got my SVX in from Japan first, the dashboard was like a christmas tree with lights, big fright.
Brought the car to the local auto rewind place, they did up the alternator, not a problem since. It is very likely you have this problem. Bearings had to be replaced in mine, the work cost about £100. I figure you should attend to and fix this first, before you start chasing down the starting problem. You may find when the alternator is fixed, the starting problem has gone away. Charge module is in the alternator. If it is not working properly, you will have low voltage, which can cause the clicking.

Otherwise, if problem still there when alternator fixed, start checking that all your earths are good on the main current circuits. You guys in the UK use too much salt on the roads in winter.

Good to have another owner on the network, we will have to get you involved in the next meet.

Joe
