Default Cossy Ignition problem

My 4x4 saff has developed a slight problem. When i try and start it up in the morning i turn the ken and the car makes this whirring noise but nothing happens. I then do this 2 or 3 times and eventually it fires into life.

Any ideas what this could be????

Correct, it is not pushing out far enough to engage the ringear. Overhauled Starter will solve your problems.
