Mum couldn't start the truck and called breakdown who said the starter motor is gone.
I've never replaced anything starter-related in the 8 years of ownership. Looking at roughtrax there are 3 items, the whole starter motor, a repair kit and the brushes. Since my mechanic would be fixing it, I'll likely just get the entire starter so he can swap it over.
What is likely to be the problem here? The brushes or something external to the starter such as the solenoid? I've asked her what happens when it doesn't start but will need to wait until she gets up given the time difference.
She said a few times before this there was a delay in starting when she turned the key.
I've tried explaining to her that she should know the truck by now and when things happen differently then it's time to look into it before a problem occurs.
