Ever since I bought the car it's been making a horrible noise in the mornings when it's cold and trying to start.it always starts but it take a few seconds before it does and it's noisy.

It did get a reconditioned starter motor the day before I bought it.maybe it needs a new one instead? What do you think? As I would like it sorted out.i hope this video works that I have added so you can hear it.

Video not worked but mine struggles to start when cold but once it's warm it's fine

Does sound like starter motor - mine made the same noise ( i hadnt tightened up the bolt that held the earth strap)

It was done days before I bought the car 10 months ago.do you think its maybe not fitted correctly?

its practically impossible to fit it incorrectly
you can check the connections very easily - one to the solenoid is just a small push on male connector and the earth strap is underneath but you should be able to see it from the top

Just shows how much I know about starter motors.i ll
Be interested in your second hand one though if that's cool.
