morning everyone
had the dreaded starter motor not engaging until 3rd, 4th or 7th time of trying
so bought a new starter motor from Schmitz rotary eng on ebay
new part arrived, easy enough to fit apart from the awkward top fixing
gets the new one on, starts the 2006, 2.5 TD shogun sport up and YES, it starts first time...but, it's making a whirring noise not quiet like the old one

any ideas, possibly tightened the bottom stud more than the awkward top one, noisy bearing on the new starter motor ?
The new starter motor and old one look identical
