I think I'm back to where I started... might wind up being expensive after all.

What are the symptoms? A starter problem is usually a clicking sound instead of cranking the engine when you turn the key. Weak starts are usually electrical (battery, battery connection, loose grounding wires, etc). Cranking strongly and just not starting is probably something else.

Well at the moment there are no symptoms.

I'm going with the "it was corroded and the battery wasn't charging because of that, but now it's charging properly" theory until anything new happens.

But maybe I'll need to replace the battery at some point anyway.
