reprised Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hi guys I have an issue with my usually dependable focus. This morning I went to start the car and when turning the key it makes a grinding noise and there is also a spinning noise. The engine doesn't turn over and start. What could it be, I haven't had any issues starting before. Thanks Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reprised Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 The AA man is looking now he suggested either the starter motor gear or worn flywheel. Hope it is just the starter and not flywheel as that sounds expensive from what he said Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reprised Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Ended up being the starter motor, he showed it to me and the gear teeth were worn. New one fitted and starts up quieter than before now Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
