Starter going bad?

Starter going bad?
I have a 99 Discovery II with approx. 141k miles. In the past month, there have been times when I get in to start it and I hear a click and then nothing, but I can turn it off and tryto start itagain, and it starts fine. Could this be the beginning of the starter going bad? If so, what is the best way to get it checked without going to the dealer?

Sunshine - sounds like a classic beginning of a starter failureto me. I've replaced many a one and they've almost always started like this - usuall a problem with the solenoid on the starter. When this happens the bendix won't kick out.
A starter shouldn't be a major investment and with 144K I'd recommend you replace it now while you can rather than having the vehicle leave you stranded. This is a fairly easy and straightforward repair that most folks can do themselves without having to take the vehicle to a dealer.
