Hello all, been down to the bus today to sort it ready for Busfest.... and the blighter won't start, had an issue with it a few times now and can clean up the solenoid connections or twat it with a hammer and it'll join in but not today... it spins when I bridge it with a screwdriver but not engaging at all.

Is there something I could try or, do I bin it off and buy a new one?

Anyone know where else to buy a good one bar the usual suspects with VW tax applied....

Cheers.
 
If it’s a genuine Bosch, rebuild will be no issue for an auto electrician (and certainly worth doing for reliability!). If it’s a cheap Chinese copy, parts might be a struggle.
