What problems can be caused by a faulty Starter Motor?

Clicking noise when key is turned in ignition

When trying to turn the key to start the car there's just a clicking sound as if the engine is trying to turn over but doesn't have enough power to do it.

Engine doesn't start up and/or cuts out when running

The engine doesn't start up very easily and will often not start at all. When it is running it can cut out completely without warning.
