Where the winches aren't.
Arse! Thought I had a flat battery yesterday as injun only seemed to be turning over slowly. Charged battery (which appeared fine, but thought I better had).

Re-fitted - Injun sounds like it's turning very slowly still, but there's a kind of graunchy grinding sound. Starter motor teeth? Mashed ring gear? Not engaging fully? Any ideas guys?

Hmm, s'a point. I'll have a shufty tomoz eve'.

Sirus, V. good of you chap. I'll let you know as soon as I can have a look at the fecker. Maybe git a chance tomoz night, but I'm working about an hour & a half away from home at the mo'.

Daft, dunt 'spect it'll be the same as a 2.25. Cheers tho' chap, I'll give you a shout if I need help.
 
Bluddy hell, you dunt realise how much an ageing starter motor is struggling 'till you put a newun on. Just fitted me shiny, much smaller new 'un & reckon I could drive me motor around on it. Think I've jist built meself an hybrid!

Half the bluddy size of the old Lucas one too so getting the top bolt in was a piece o' peess!

Some of the newer ones have an epileptic reduction gear in them and that let's the armature whirl round about half the speed of light and the epileptic gearing turns the speed down but turns the torque way up high, and off she jolly goes! It would be like a gas turbine engine at 30,000 revs connected to a Disco in Low range first .....
