I didn't get a reply to my post about my starter, possibly because it was too damned long for anyone to read, but more likely because there really was no help for it.

Anyway, my student allowance is currently held up in the paperwork, and my starter is siezed up and has been living on my desk for the last week. It really is wreaked (siezes up, solinoid is junk and as a result of the solinoid only half engaging, has all but destroyed the teeth in the last few months.)

But if I can get it up the hill to go to class, I can clutch it down. It's no huge issue if it doesn't start, but I like to drive on a winter's day if possible, cos it's starting to get pretty frosty in the mornings.

It doesn't matter if it gets stuck up at the Uni, because there's really no difference between being stranded in the Arts faculty carpark, and being stuck in the carpark at college. I'm just trying to save myself a very cold 20 minute walk here and have some fun pulling stuff apart.

As soon as I get my financial aid back, I can pay 50 bucks for a new starter, does anyone have any advice on unjamming the old one? I don't really have anything to lose by breaking it and I enjoy taking stuff apart when I need a break from study.
