Hey Everyone,
It looks like i now have a starter motor issue. i pulled it out today as the car was not starting. Starter motor was activating but just whizzing and not engaging teeth. Turns out you need a gear in there lol. So basically i had my clutch slave leak and as i started the car (effectively in 1st gear) it must have caused some damage to the gear or the circlip that holds it in place because now it has disappeared. When i started it up i could hear bits of metal flying around. Was in a rocky car park so thought it might have flicked a few stones somehow.
I will attach some photos. i was hoping someone could tell me what was actually on it as there are no marks on the starter motor and literally no gear to examine.
