53/04 Ford mondeo tdci 130 zetec s - Starting Issues - stella.a

This started about a week ago. If I turn the key to start the engine there is just a click. I then turn the key all the way back and forward again and it usually starts. For a couple of days it was starting normally but this has now got a lot worse to the point it's taking 8 or 9 tries before it starts.

The car currently has 130k on the clock. The DMF was done at about 90k. I can't remember if the starter motor was changed when the dmf was done. Any thoughts on what may be the problem. Thanks.

Check battery terminals to make sure they are clean and tight.Also terminals/connectors to starter motor.If all these look good,then it could well be the starter on the way out.
