Hi there. Ive just put a new battery into my 2.5V6 as the previous was knacked. Now the starter motor just wirs away and doesnt seem to enagage when you turn the ignition key. The starter motor will still try and turn the engine over when its in gear !! bizarre. It has a factory fitted car alarm, is it possible this is the cause, the alarm did go off a couple of times when I was changing the battery, and indeed carried on going even after the battery was disconnected. Thanks. pete

sounds like starter fault.alarm will go off when you remove the battery,you sure it was the battery at fault to start with an not the starter?
