I reckon that the starter motor is on its way out on the shortie. Over the last few days, everytime I turn the key in the ignition to start her up it sounds similar to if you try turning the ignition on a car when it's already running....

 

on the second attempt it fires up ok, but only a matter of time before it fails completely.

 

 

I've got a spare starter motor on my '91 LWB TT; I assume that it will fit a newer '95 SWB TT?

 

The clutch needs replacing as a priority (the new one comes with flywheel already attached), would it make sense to do both at the same time, as I haven't got a clue where the starter motor is on a zed?

 

 

Is it an easy job, changing the starter motor on a zed?

 

cheers

I haven't managed to check the starter motor yet but I reckon it might be getting worse, as it now takes 2-4 turns of the key to start her up. It'll then just fire up as if nothing is up?

 

Here's a quick video clip taken on my phone where you can hear it:
