Earth and 12V cables and a little bitty switching wire. Three in total.
If it is just crap on the shaft then you can key it a bunch of times to clean it off.
If it's the brushes then it'll be hit and miss whether it will work. It'll help to smack it while turning the key.
If the armature is rooted then I wouldn't drive anywhere.
Prognosis: you'll be right mate if you fix it asap.
Solenoids stay good for ages. It is usually just a rusty crap build up on the shaft that prevents it from throwing the gear out.
If you hardly use your car then a new starter would be the go as once rust starts on the shaft it likes to grow back and fark it all up again pretty quick.
Lmao.
Yeah mate it's called remove your starter motor, emery the sh*t of the throw out gear shaft and put it back in.
Don't use a wet lube as it will just collect dust and seize up quicker.
Yep.
I'm sure if someone can make their way to sa then they can make the 15 minute journey to the park from the top of the freeway.
I don't mind meeting people at the freeway though which is where the pub is.
If yas want I'll meet you all at the Crafers Hotel on Friday.
There is a BP servo across the road from there so we can all fill up if we need to for the Saturday cruise.
It's only about 10 minutes from the caravan park and is just off the freeway where you'd exit anyway.
2nd edit: This would be a good meeting spot for Saturday morning as well.
Haha that's funny. I collect them so I can easily see if I'm logged in as me when I'm on mobile. I also check every unread post on the forum each day so I am caught up with stuff.
I'm pretty sure @BAXRTUTE is just working his arse off atm and for that reason isn't very active on here right now.
@Rab I've talked the missus into coming up on Friday with the kids so you all can meet my bunch of little puffwagons.
You need to add each picture as a separate link.

@k31th will come to the rescue. He loves posting instructions.
Edit: stuff.
Yep it ain't cheap. I recently spent over 2k for a new upgraded turbo instead of spending 1k for a near stock replacement.
My thinking is why waste a grand on a stock turbo when I can have a good one for double the price.
I'd start by confirming if the tune is stock with the intention of getting it tuned if it is.
If you have no intention of ever getting it tuned and the tune is stock then the turbo swap would be the way to go.
At this stage I'd only be concerned with diagnosing the issue and not rushing out and spending money on tuning and other parts.
It'll take a tuner all of 10 minutes to tell you if your tune is stock or not.

Bottom link is types of accommodation and the top link is how much it is.
If you already had the stock turbo then that advice is ok but buying another turbo just to see if it fixes it is not good advice imo.
Turbos are too expensive to buy for a process of elimination especially as it won't be adding any foundation to making more power.
Although the turbo may be causing the issue it isn't the issue if that makes sense. It'll likely be tune or other electrical related.
I'd be more inclined to spend that money on getting it to run right with the current turbo.
