Technical hi I'm new and have a starting problem

[meooo]

If you do need a starter, I see Combellacks are currently breaking Three Sicentos (899) I think they'll be the same, but do check that feed wire to the starter first

Unfortunately the 899 is a different starter, although a Punto 55 or 60 one will fit a Sporting if there isn't one of them in the yard.

ok so firstly thanks for all the advice on the spare parts etc....I;ve been out and learnt how to use a multi meter and I'm getting a reading of 11.1 volts from the thin wire on the starter it was still connected to the starter tho dunno if that makes any difference..so whatta ya think? any other checks i need do?
thanks

Its definately heading towards a fubared starter motor.

Whip it out.

Make sure you disconnect the earth lead from the battery before starting.

yeah kinda thought you'd say that... the haynes bible says to remove exhaust sounds like a right pain in the arse....but heyho I'm working a 12hr shift tomorrow so it'll have to be tuesday if this rain ever stops..

Don't take the exhaust off. Do it from the top on a Sporting.
