As ive been having problems starting the car, i have taken the starter motor off and had a look. The teeth on the teeth thing are slightly worn on one side. Is this ok or could it be a problem that could cause a starting issue? Alot of the time when trying to turn the engine over, the starter makes a weird whining noise like something spinning. Not sure what it is though. Thanks

Personally I thoroughly clean it but don't use oil.

If it is greasy it attracts sludge and you end up with the same problem

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
