The starter on my auto cdt was making a graunching noise about 1 in 20 starts. Just switched off and all well on next attempt.
So, I got the kit, followed the how to and did the job.
The old contacts were not worn, but the hidden bolt had a stripped thread and was therefore not tightening. Someone had relocated the earth lead to another point to ensure good contact.
I got a new bolt and tightened everything up, but left the earth where it was.
Starting has been perfect until today, when the graunching returned, this time switching off and trying again needed 3 goes.
I fear that there is damage to the starter ring, but why does the starter motor engage on the next attempt? (3rd attempt today!)
The flywheel has not moved, so any thoughts/ suggestions what might be happening here?
Thanks
Roy
