This is doing my head in. Starter Motor problems.
Sometimes my car wont start - you can hear the starter motor turning but the
bendix is not engaging.
I've tried changing it with one from a scrap yard that tested ok, but still
the same problem.
Anyone got an electrical drawing for the above. ( I put Bravo in because I
was told that the drawings are the same )
Help advice ????  Please Please -   -  -  -

Teeth worn off the ring gear on the flywheel?

That happened on an old Uno I once owned, but I think it was the teeth on
the starter motor cog that were stripped.

Are you SURE you hear the motor turning?

Sorry for delay in replying  John
No the flywheel teeth are OK.
I've checked and it seems that the coil is switching but the 'bendix' I think
they call it, is not engaging.
Yet when I take it off the car it operates fine, ? I'm stumped.
