hey guys,
recently my car hasnt been starting properly, the starter was a 2nd hand one i replaced 2 months ago (20/6/06 to be exact) anyway, 1/4 times the starter will spin, but wont grip the fly wheel, it makes a loud noise kinda like a ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR sound... ive been getting round it by opening the bonnet and pulling the fan belt until the crank turns alittle bit, then she starts fine,
the starter hasnt been making the best noises since i put it in, but i didnt have the $$ for a new one at the time, i also checked my fly wheel, it has some wear on it but nothing drastically bad, once the cars started its fine,
when it dosnt start the starter is spinning (i can hear it)
ive come to the conclusion that either a tooth on the flywheel is too worn for the starter(or several) or its the starter tread, which i think it might be...
has anyone got any opinions before i go ripping my starter out again to inspect the flywheel/starter tread???(gonna have to do it anyway)
anyway any help would be useful, cheers
anyone know how much a new flywheel is??? i dont want to replace it if i dont have to as its a BIG JOB
