Right, i'm getting annoyed with this now.
The original starter motor packed up last week, even though it worked fine on Friday it decided to completley pack up on Saturday monring. Nothing, just a click when the ignitition is turned... Checked cables, none were faulting against anything, changed the battery from my other car, rocked the car in gear...
Picked up a fairly new one today (it's not actually a 5 one, it's a smaller casing, ''uprated/Group A spec'' i'd assume), fitted it and all i'm getting now is a horrendous grinding noise. I've checked the live and ignition cable and they're on fine with no obstuctions. Now unless i'm being a total downs I can't think of anything else to check.. Unless anyone else realises i'm missing something and is willing to enlighten me...
