Occasionally when I start the car it screaches like hell, I switch off and try again and its ok, does anyone know what it is ?

 

Thanks

Starter motor probably!!

 

Ring gear possibly!!

 

I've got the same problem. Mines being looked at tomorrow or the next day so will let you know how I go!!!!!

Starter motor. Ring gear would do this all the time not intermittent. I have a spare I need to get fixed - if I get it done quickly would you like to borrow it to test?

Forgive me for doubting the mighty knowledge of the duff, but sureley if a tooth had broke off the ring gear then that would cause an intermitent squeal cos it would only do it when the starter ring stops in that perticular place.:confused:

 

My dads rover had to have a new starter ring, cos it ate a couple of teeth but it only did the noise every now and then.

Andy,

 

Thanks for the offer, I think I will wait and see if it gets any worse.

 

Anyone know what a reconditioned starter costs ?
