Starter or something else?
I got off work today and when I turned the key the engine wouldn't crank just one click, non of the lights dimmed.
I asked my buddy to turn the key while I tapped the starter and the car fired right up.
When I got home the car started up fine without tapping the starter.
should I replace my starter? or is something else wrong?
2004 TL - 111000km
EDIT: sorry thought I posted this in the Problems & Fixes.

I had the same thing happen to me as OP. I had aaa come out and they tapped the starter and it didn't budge. Battery is recording low however the lights were not dim of flicker. At the mechanic now replacing the stsrter, hoping thats the problem... What else could it be?

Replaced the starer last night only took an hour, taking out the battery tray was the hardest part.
I will also replace my battery because It's dropping below 12v overnight it's 4 years old anyways.
I followed this guide to replace my starter:
