Default S2 Starter motor help

Man its doin my head in now

have to clunk it with a hammer when left for more than an hour, and if its been on a raggin, I have to leave it 10 mins with the bonnet up to cool down before it will turn over.

Left it for 30 mins the other day cooling down and had to bump it on my own

Can I attack the one I have with WD40? Or a case of getting another reconditioned one?

Anyone got a good one? 1.8 diesel starters are supposed to be good?

Thanks for all your help!
