Van tends to start very well - if you need to push start it, she'll start at walking pace on the first kick...
But starter motor seems to be struggling. Throws no problem, turns engine, but often slows right down - almost sounds as if engine is jamming! - then it will often 'free-up' and spin at the normal speed, starting. It makes a sound like a flattening battery - battery is 100% fine.
Is this the sound of a starter motor slowly giving up? It has been in for quite a few years...
Are there good/better/best options in terms of a new starter motor, or are all the same...?
cheers
