I think I need to strip my starter and possibly replace the brushes.
Its the Valeo D6RA138 starter on a 3dr 52reg 1.6 Stilo dynamic
The car starts just fine in the morning and again in the afternoon but will not start when the car has recently been driven. (the battery is new by the way)
When not starting: When I turn the key I hear the fuel pump spin and all the usuals sounds and lights pop up on the dash but when I turn the key further to crank the engine over i just hear a click and it wont spin the flywheel round at all.
It will start eventually with the help of a gentle (sometimes violent) tap with a hammer whilst a mate turns it over.
My question is - As I have time to take it apart, clean, grease, replace brushes and reassemble etc... what are my chances of success?
Thanks
