Hi all, had the landy running last week after being stood for a while, took a couple attempts for the starter to engage but was soon on tick over. After running out of desiel and then getting some it wouldn't start again, all I get is a spinning noise but no engaging. Any info would be great

Bendix is stuck. Remove your starter and lub the bendix.

sounds like the solenoid is not throwing the starter gear out if its a series 3.

Tried this, it's actually throwing out but that's it, I also had it wired to a battery when off the landy

Are there teeth missing from the fly wheel?

Friggin hope not, always does this when it's been stood but I've always got it going when jump started from another car. I always get the whining noise but eventually it seems to engage, not this time tho

When starter was off landy I attached leads and it was throwing out, when fitted to landy it was just spinning but not throwing out. I've got good earth as this happened last time. What could this be?

If motor is spinning and bendix is throwing then we are back to Ian 46's suggestion. Try rocking vehicle in gear to move flywheel ring gear to a fresh spot.Also how good is your batt?

I used to work in starter repair place and they used to clamp starter in vice and use soft wood 2x2 to test if engaged drive was worn out and slipped under load or spat wood chips out

Just to let the people know that had replied to my post about starter motor problems. After taking off starter for the 5th time I had noticed that the small cog that slides up and down was throwing out after all, but instead of locking tight in-order to turn the flywheel it was just spinning round. I managed to get one from another series today for £15 and it all works. Thanks everyone
