Rebuilt starter is on it's way, however it now appears that some electrical gremlins may have been released. I have recently crossed over the 222,000km mark and I have noticed "pulsating" lights after driving roughly 45-60km. When I say pulsating I mean almost blinking! interior and exterior. I pull over to the side of the road and the car idles fine, but continues to puslate. After a few minutes everything is good and I can drive away. Could these gremlins have something to do with the starting of the car? I have a battery that is less than a year old, and an alternator even younger than the battery. If anyone has had similar problems, I am very curious to find out what you have done to remedy them... tyia.
