healthy clunk might just be dog gear not necessarily making contact though ,not difficult to strip check both starter and solenoid
Starting after wading.....or rather NOT!

it might be fine but just to be sure give it a clean n strip
just a thought

if it will fit i have a spare 300tdi starter you can have mate, all it will cost you is the courrier you'll have to arrange.

Thanks fer the offer
What I really need to find out is how to stop it happening in the 1st place or if its a matter of a tired starter/brushes whatever that doesn't like going for a dip

i'd of thought ingress would be from bell housing where the bendix is or where the wiring goes thru the body of the starter, on a second note if the bearings are worn the rotor and windings will just contact and short remaining static to each other rather than turning so may not be water at all. could explain the random nature of yer problem.

Thought bell-housing as well but took the wading plug out and its dry as a bone.
Guess wirings favourite and it is on the more exposed side. It'll probably be obvious when I get a chance to take it off and have a proper look
Series3 LWB, and I'd rather crawl on my hands and knees than possess a fukkin gaylanderer or a matiz come to that
Girls blouse, um, don't think so, perhaps i could borrow one of yours

the solenoid does two things when it clunks..... it physically pulle the gear into mest on the flywheel teeth and it slaps a copper bar accross the terminals .... if that copper bar is dirty the current wont flow... same as it wont flow through a dirty connection in the battery leads. starters arnt water proof, theres often a rubber seal which leaks, we came accross it wive tractors years ago , lucas wouldnt honour the warrentee on tractot starters that were full of water from where the farmers had been pressure washing the cow **** off. ive also known rain water getting in tractor starters that are left stood outside.
i reckon if yer wading a lot you need a spare starter so you can swop and clean at the first sign of trouble

Reckon you could be right
Starting fine about 9 times out of ten now and there is no way I will EVER admit to begging a pull start from a J**p at the fuel station

No not wiring......good advice though.
Had an intermittent fault a few years ago that was driving me mad until I discovered the +ve feed cable was corroded and high resistance AFTER I'd been through and changed every blurdy thing else! :doh:
Now, jumping starter straight from battery is always 1st port of call
