When I turn the key, the motor doesn't turn over straight away - I get a slight whirring sound, but not the normal starter sound. I then get a loud clunk, followed by the starter turning normally and the motor starting.
I've swapped batteries to rule that out, and the connections to the starter are good.
Does this sound like an issue with the starter motor?
