recently the starter motor started to play up and stick but the car would start easyily. Now all of a sudden. The only way to start it is push it down the road and try to get it to work and it will start but it isn't overly practical when you need to go out. Now i have to get it reconditioned get a second hand one or as a last resort the most expensive option buy a new one. A bonus is i am learning how to work on the mini and my haynes manual is seeing plenty of use. But this is no consolation prize for having this problem. anyone had the same problem?

just got car started after taking starter to a auto electrician he tested it and it was fine checked all earth connections fine! charged battery for just short of an hour and a half. and she fired up. perhaps a new battery is required.
