Sounds like the starter then. Check the connections are all tight on the motor itself etc.
If your guna get one just get one off a smaller engined car, mine is off a 1.4CVH. Works fine, and they are smaller so there will be more clearance between the downpipe and starter itself, so in theory should last longer!

I went through 3 re-conned starters until I decided to get a genuine Turbo starter motor second hand and its still going strong.

I made a heat shield up to protect the starter from the heat from the turbo out of alloy. I mounted it to the 2 bolts that oil return pipe needs and bent it to shape.
