i think i have a dying starter. Whether the engine is cold or not.. the starter churns at a quite slow pace at start then livens up a bit. That's when the engine starts.

My battery was bought last May 2004, and is still quite strong.

At times when i start the car it makes a sound that goes like it is slipping or something. My mechanic friend suggested that we check out the bendix as it might be sticking. Havent gotten around to bringing it in for a checkup though.. but the car is really a dog to start!.... i normally crank it in a couple of seconds.. if the engine doesnt catch.. i turn it off and start the cycle of starting the car again...
