Auto starter this time.
For a while now there has been a horrible noise when starting.
On list to do but as it always did actually start & engine & gearbox were fine when going, it was always pushed down the list.
Anyhow, Saturday, wouldn't turnover,was trying to but couldn't. Tried jump leads. Still not enough power to turn it over. Called RAC & with heavy duty leads off his heavy duty batteries it started with the usual grinding noise.
Thought ok, fair enough, knew it was coming, new starter required.
Took starter off today (lovely job) Thought it looked quite new. Has recon sticker on it & looks in good order.
Put it on a battery with jump leads, engages & spins lovely.
Got me worrying could it be something else? Could it be something inside the box?
Or is it just because its not under load?
Anyone else had this?
