Hi all again,
Recently Car broke down and it had cause the starter motor to not engage and start turning the engine. So I was wandering if I replace just the starter motor will this solve the problem, the RAC mechanic seemed to say that it would. But just wanted to check before I spend £50 on a new starter motor. Any help would be muchly appreciated,
Many thanks

Hi.

You need excellent electrical power to crank an engine on the starter ..

So check.

Battery..charging circuit

Cables.. earth and to starter.

In my experience.. older stsrter get full of their own carbon debris ( from the motor brushes..)

Flush this out..and it will carry on for years

Even if it isn't engaging? Cause it is spinning I believe since makes loud whirring noise but it is just like it isn't turning anything, if you get me
