starters, just like alternators, hate mud..dirt in starter is most likely the problem.....mine was rebuilt for $110 with me doing removal and refit..others have paid much more...the teeth don't engage properly, cause the starter dont fly out far enough. christover

Mine went dodgy.
Bought a new one.
pulled the old one apart... cleaned.... reassembled... No problem!
Doh!

mine has got the grind noise happening everytime i start it now, so i'm gonna hopefully pull it off tomorrow and tidy it it and hopefully that'll fix it
