    I know the video is 4 years old, but saved me some big money today. Come back parked up next morning it wont start. Sounded exactly how in this video. Before Ive seen the video i went and bought the starter motor spent £150. Gone under car could not see how to replace it. Went on youtube looked for videos and found this one. So got back under used the WD40 PFTE loosen some bolts moved round tighten back up and started like a dream. So took the new part back to shop got me money back and car is works and starts fine. Thank you so much for the video 😊

    I’m another one that you’ve saved a load of cash and pain. The car (Mondeo mk5 1.5d) up on axle stands and me checking prices for starter. I must say I was not looking forward to the removal, it’s in a right painful position (designers hate mechanics) anyway tested with multi meter as you showed with similar results. loosened, cleaned, retightened and greased terminal nuts. Starts like a dream.
    I was surprised it was this because parked the other night and next morning nothing, just the click, I thought the ring gear had jammed. But no warning at all I found that weird.
    Thanks for this. I’m subscribing.

    Unfortunately, I replaced alternator and battery before viewing this video. I finally solve problem thanks to you. When I saw contacts on my starter they were in much worse condition than your car, knew immediately that was the problem, all red and blue off rust and oxidation. WD spray and electric contact spray worked for me. Thank you a lot!

    Had the exact same problem and voice on my 2015 model focus. Sometimes it started and sometimes not. Service didn't understand the issue and they told me the car's computer shows no problem at all but they changed the clutch sensor just to be safe(!) Now that I'm doing a detailed research about the problem I'm pretty sure it was the same issue that you had in the video. Connection problem, corrosion or something like that in starter motor.
    Great video and great explanation about how things work! Keep up the great work!

    I’ve gone through several starters now. Before we both the mechanic and I saw the oil on gear and believed it was due to this. Now this last time lasted only two weeks. Still make the same sound as previous failures. Like Bendix just spins grinding noise. I myself took it off this time and no oil what a surprise since there’s been oil on previous ones. Very clean. Took it to mechanic he bench tested it looked great he said to put it back on make sure all connections are good tight clean including batttery. Battery only one month old. Still not working just keeps making same spinning grinding winding noise. Soo if bench tested it and came out good it doesn’t mean under flywheel load it’s strong enough to crank flywheel?

    Great vid !
    I'm going to try this on my 2016 ford kuga
    As it usually declines to start it takes afew goes and then it goes dead and then it starts so I would definitely think its the same problem ! Well I hope it is
    What lubricant did you use or is it ok to use any kind could you recommend some please mate ! Plus do I have to disconnect the battery just incase of a spark , or is it OK to just do it and loosen the nut on the starter
    And carry on
    Plus is it just the nut onto the starter that I must loosen and then spray and tighten again
    Thanks mate

Very reasonable and it's working just as before . I have had timing serious problems which he mostly fixed . Still a lil stalling when I accelerate . I told him about it and he said sometimes they gotta relearn certain things on its own . ? God I hope so . Went on 175 mile road trip when I got it yesterda

    Hey when removing starter the rubber seal that sits on engine case in between the starter and engine fell out ? How important is it to put it back on ? Just what does it do ? Looks a bit frayed too at the ends. Very important to have a near perfect replacement or can I even leave it out ?

    Found out the hard way that bench testing a starter isn’t the be all end all. It’s a first step but you can put it on and won’t crank. That’s what happened to me. Anyway my almost brand new starter just two weeks old OEM totally failed. Got a used junkyard one and totally worked. Forgot to put on that top bracket that starter cable clips on to oh well. ..

    same problem.. one click and no start. i had someone look to see if there was a spark.. and there was. i cracked off the biggest nut to try completely removing it to clean. i wanted to shine up all connecting parts. as i was unscrewing the nut it stiffened up a little because of the exposed outer thread being cruddy, but not excessively, but then the whole bolt started turning. i didn't realize at first as it wasn't that obvious, so i think i got a full 360 turn at least before i stopped. i tried to tighten it back up again, but it just spun together the same as before. still solid tho, but not nipped up as i'd like. i had someone start the car (and it did, and it does every time now) as i was under it to see it there were any sparks, but there wasn't. i'll have to see how i get on now and hope it stays this way. if not then it's a new one probably. so, i'd say wd40 it with a straw for accuracy, and with the + battery lead off. wd40 it two or three times in half an hour, then leave it for another half an hour to penetrate. yes!... it's an hours wait, but worth it to avoid the issue i just had. (if the wd40 works of course).
