What's wrong with your current one? They're pretty easy to strip down and clean, and that usually sorts out any problems. Also, sometimes the problem is with the wiring getting old/tired and not being able to handle the current the starter needs, in which case you'll need to do the "clicky starter fix" and fit a relay.

It sometimes will turn the engine sometimes it will just constantly click until you bang it...
Is there a guide on how to strip them? thanks Chris

I did one recently, they're *really* easy to do.

Just undo a few bolts and screws, clean the crud out, put it back together in reverse order and away you go.

Take pics of how it comes apart if you're unsure.

A couple of pics of me doing it.

Here's an instructibles guide on stripping a starter motor. It's not exactly the same as an SJ starter, but close enough.

I think I should just add that if you wanted a replacement you may be hard pushed for £25... most people seem to want at least that amount nowadays!
I'm with the strip down and clean idea though... unless the magnets have broken off the inside of the casing or the solenoid wiring is actually screwed then theres a good chance it will work properly again!

Strip down for me aswell doubt you will get a skinny for 25 though!!
