    I always use a electric contact cleaner . In fact I always keep a can in my landy . I get mine from halfords . And yes I cleaned it all up and gave the plunger a light rubbing with a Emory sponge

    Yep mines still working as it should . And yes once you got off the starter it was only a 10minute job to fix in the new contacts ,you will see when you take the old ones out how worn they are , but don't strip both sides out at the same time .take one side out at a time laying out the parts in...

    One more thing you say your starter is completely gone . When you get it off might be worth opening it up and looking at the solenoids connections . If your getting a click but nothing else these wear out and no longer make contact . It's just a 5 minute job to do
