Re: [Peugeot-L] 405 Starter Engagement Delay

Before you go to the expense of replacing anything, you need to locate all the grounds busses in the engine bay and remove the wires, polish them and the ground buss (or replace the buss if it is badly corroded) and reassemble. Make sure you clean up the ground connection from the battery to the engine (where it attaches to the engine) and if you are feeling really energetic, remove the starter and clean up all the electrical connections as well.
I had the 'click' at the turn of the key, I did the grounds cleanup and it has totally eliminated the problem.
