further to the 205's starter deciding it didnt want to play any more i was introduced to a nice man who does starters and alternators.
looks like a cross between a 70 yr old sven goran erikkson and albert einstein but amazing, just picked up my repaired and rebuilt starter, all fixed and sorted with a new solenoid and new bushes and all other bits overhauled.
an extortionate 20 quid shocking.
guess where the alternators going next week :)
