[Rovernet] 2000TC Starter Trouble

[Gianni D'Ortenzio]

Something similar happened to me after likewise sending starter motor off to auto elect for rebuild whilst I had engine out for clutch replacement.
Turned out the end fittings fell off the shaft and I had to eventually “fish" out the bits from the bell housing.
Magnet from an old hard drive on a length of wire did the trick!

Replaced it with a spare I had (un-reconditioned) and all good since then.

You might have to remove it to examine. 
Need small monkey like hands to get in there with engine pipe etc!

Cheers Gianni
