WANTED: Starter for EJ20

Hey lads, my starter motor on my 2L 2001 Forester is on it's way out. Engine struggles to start 50% of the time cause the crank simply isn't getting turned, more often than not. Once it does turn over the engine runs like a dream which leads me to believe the starter is bollocks.

Anyone have a starter motor, that would suit the EJ20 motor, that they want to part with. Failing that I'll just try Japanese Wholesale Parts. Cheers.

I have a few off various EJ motors. If you are able to post up a photo of your one I can see if I have one the same or not.

Just popped back on here to say I don't think I no longer need one

Pulled the starter out, cleaned it up, regreased it and put it back in and seams to be going fine. Started about 30 times in a row with out a single hiccup. I'm stoked. I'm not the most mechanically minded person in the world but I try

Thanks anyway though Andrew. If it plays up again I'll send you a PM.
Cheers mate.
