Dear font of all knowledge that is alt.fan.landrover,
My (series 3 2 1/4 petrol 12v) starter motor sometimes just spins without engaging when I turn the key, normally turning the key again solves the problem but recently it has been getting a lot worse.
Today it took about 50 goes to get it to start.
On saturday I will be taking the starter motor off to have a look and fix/destroy it. Before I do I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice?
Is it: (a) just needs a bit of grease in the right place. (Fingers crossed) (b) time for a new starter motor (c) just replace .............. and it will work (d) smack it with a big hammer and it will work (my favourite way of fixing things)
Thanks
Nigel
