That’s a great tip! Sadly I don’t have any grandchildren, but if yours is available for hire I should be getting the starter motor back tomorrow….
It's a pity I'm not closer, I'd lend you one of mine. It would probably cost you a decent ice-cream though.
Yay. Good luck. Fingers crossed that support bush does its thing until you can change it For a 70p component they can cause a teeny bit of hassle. Edit..I'm curious. Did your man find anything wrong with the motor? Excessive bearing play or poor components etc
I asked him what was the issue and he just said it was old and tired. He's replaced anything that was worn out, brushes etc and given it a very good clean inside and out. Fingers crossed for £70 well spent....! Right, I've procrastinated long enough... got me music sorted, a cup of tea, and 17, 15 and 13mm spanners... wish me luck, I'm going in.......
