Starter problems?

So ive had my 96 disco se for a couple of years now... with 185,453 miles on it... hah. and its always had problems starting. It turns over for a good 7 seconds and then it chuckles and finally turns on. not sure what to do. i know it cant be good for the starter. ive had it worked on a couple of times and no one seems to know whats wrong with it. any ideas? maybe the starter? or is it just so used that im just going to have to live with it. sometimes it takes me a good 15 minutes to get it started on cold mornings.

oh and one more thing... the right side of my speakers are extremely quiet, while the left work just fine... im lost here too. hah. any help would be much appreciated!

I had a very simular problem a month back. Exactly like that.

Turned out to be the distributor base pick up ( air gap its called in the haynes manual) was not set correctly.

Below the rotor arm then below the dust cover...........erm......

At i guess.....with your post's........you not good under the bonnet.

You need to get someone who's ok with engines to have a look at it
