I have a 04 plate fiesta 1'25,the problem is every now and then the battery light comes on and when ignition is turned off it will not start again just a clicking sound,I've had 3 new starting motors fitted in 3 months but the problem keeps coming back.

check your battery,alternator belt,alternator etc.clicking starter means it is trying to turn but may not have enough power.you can check if charging system is giving out enough voltage by metering across the battery with meter set on dc voltage with the engine on tickover,you should read 12vdc.if you rev the engine and hold you should read approx 14vdc.
