Does your starter turn slower than this?

when you try to start the engine do you depress the clutch pedal as this takes some load off the flywheel and is reccomended for starting?

hi, sorry for the late reply, i was away for a day. Actually ny starter speed sounds about the same. Hard to confirm without measuring it. borrowed a new strong 45amp batterty, and it made no diffrence, so i've removed the starter and i'm sending it away to have it checked. Trying to eliminate parts and see haow it goes. When i get the starter back i should ceck to see if the battery lead to the starter is healthy and there is no drop.

Just got my starter back from a local guy who's done a brilliant job recoditioning it. Fitted it and it sounds like is running at least 5 times faster than before! Car fires up perfectly. Yes! Went around in circles, eliminating connection issues, earth etc, but the starter speed was the issue. Thanks everyone for your help.
