ok i'll get another starter from the scrappy on sat as it'll cost pennies... anyway i can test/overhaul it b4 trying it? as i dont wanna replace a knackered part with another knackered one...

not in the mood to replace it with a brand new one if its not kaput yet...

also had to start the car about 5 times tonite (when the fookin thing's hot it keeps cutting out n wont idle ) and it started fine every time and cranked normal speed
