So, basically I am at uni in Hatfield and my starter keeps jamming or not fully engaging with flywheel. Spins fine, just solenoid seems to be a bit reluctant sometimes. local garage booked full until next thurs. So if someone nearby could lend me a socket set wednesday that would be excellent so I can get it off and give it a clean inside.

Thanks

Think it might be worth getting a cheap set from asda or something just to do this job? Recall seeing one quite cheap other day... So frustrating when I've got me good set back home

Solenoid is think is fine, just gunked up. Likely with clutch dust from a year or so ago when the clutch had a slipping problem caused by faulty master cylinder.

Have a look at the lzir map (link in sticky top if this section) and PM those closest to you. My phone struggles to cope with the map but I think bencorkill and scrappyloz are close, probably a few others.

If you don't get any joy PM me and/or MHM the names and we'll see what we can sort by phone.

well yes that would do too. But socket would be nice to undo bolts on exhaust down pipe.

Bought some sockets and ratchet. Spent a bit more than I wanted too as typically they'd sold out of the one at Asda. Got starter off, despite being new, didn't look too happy inside. Gave a good clean got rid of dust etc and graphite on teeth. Since, no issues... Hopefully that will continue.

You'll use plenty of tools if you run an old landy
