Yes sounds like the one way clutch has failed or failing, the purpose of the clutch is to stop the engine driving the starter if you keep the key turned after engine start, which would over speed the starter badly, Rick

The noise and eventually starting makes sense now, thanks Rick :thumb2
 
I got clutches if you want to change it, but rest of starter probably as bad, Rick
 
I should be able to get you a Bosch unit that has been refurbed for not much money?

Oooh, I'll see what brand his is, he mentioned bosch but I don't think it will be at that price though, whats the timeline like on the refurb one?
 
Sounds like a vacuum cleaner mate, you sure you were turning correct button on?

Oh yes! Was a close thing this aft I didn't think she was going to start, 50 miles away in Drayton :doh But she came through as always and didn't let me down :bow
I think I may be asking Zac for that starter sooner rather than later :thumb2

Say the word mate and I'll "set the cogs in motion" :naughty :doh
 
Whats best way to pay mate?, and is it refurb off a truck or refurbed unused?

It's one that's come off a truck and gone away faulty to be refurbished and come back rewound and rebuilt. I've got one on mine now from the same guys and it's been on there for a while and still going strong :thumbs
 
So, when I get a starter, does anyone have any advice on how to remove and fit and what tools are needed?, it looks like a proper bloody knuckle job :(
 
i find going in via the wing and i use moon shaped or s shaped spanners make it easier and i have a set of stumpy spanners too there is not much room for a lot else :thumb2
 
Used to be half an hour to change one, but my hands have lost their grip and I struggle now, but combination spanner in from the top to slacken the bolt then quarter drive socket with short extension to wind it out, then in through the wheel arch with combination spanner for the bottom bolt as before crack it then with something supporting the starter finger it out, all having done the electrical stuff first of course, Rick
