Hey guys, been a long time, but over kept the car and dads been driving it and looking after it. Came across a problem where ecu has been swapped a couple of times but the misfiring kept coming back. The sparky said the issue definitely started as a ecu problem. Now the car won't start at all, when turning the key it makes a loud screeching noise but doesn't crank. So far we've tried using leads to another car to see if I does anything but same thing. We are thinking starter motor maybe?

wheelers hill.. went under the car and did manage to get it out, what a pain though. not really sure on whether we can test it and take it apart to clean it up but dad just wants to get a new one in there which can be picked up from nunawading radiators... supposedly the replacement goes back in easier? is there a seal that you need to pull out which sits in between the trans and starter? feels like there is but i cant get it out and not really able to see it. bit of a nightmare but found it easier to remove the airbox and pull it out through the top

there,s no seal
you can pull it apart brushes at the back are the mian things that go
is your car auto or manaul as the starts are different.
