Hi guys,
Please have a listen to the sound file and tell me what you think it is.

I want to be absolutely certain that a new starter motor will fix the issue. Sometimes I get stuck as the battery is completely exhausted attempting to start the car.
A while ago I got stuck on Mt Buller (the fuel pump died) and with a jumpstart from a truck, I kept cranking it until smoke started coming out of bonnet - could this be the cause of the starter motor failure? Or is it just the fact that it's done 260,000 km?
Also, you can buy starter motors pretty cheap off ebay - whats a reasonable amount to pay for labour to have it changed over?
Cheers
