So my g/f's el cheapo 1.6 petrol Mondeo Mk2 refused to start about a week ago, plenty of electric but the starter motor just went "click. click. click. click."

Bump started it, (couldnt see the starter motor to give it a gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet) and it started up OK, she drove it to the garage as a precaution. Apparently it did the same thing there, but then decided to behave and start OK so we brought it back without being looked at.

Any ideas on whats' most likely to have caused it to do that, and if its' likely to crop up again? The garage chap seemed convinced it would, but I'm willing to take the gamble for now and see if it does it again. Cheers. :)
 
Start motor on the way out? Damp/cold perhaps?

Starter ring slipping on the flywheel?

Perhaps that mallet might be the best option after all....
