Hi chaps, hope all the bricks are running fine !!!! I have a slight problem with mine. The starter motor sounds like it doesn't disengage in time on a cold start, every other start during the day it's fine, it's only first thing I get a noise off it once the engine fires, sounds like a screech of metal on metal for a second or two. I have an autobox 740 with the 2 litre engine. Is the starter motor easy to pull? Haynes is not very specific on this point (wish they still did the old type). When I do pull it, what should I look for? eg. does it need cleaned and lubricated on the bit that throws out when you engage the starter? Any tips most welcome.
Cheers, Stuart Gray
