    been near water?
    and it also sounds like the starter solenoid, whip it off before it fails completely

    don't do as od do as i say, mine has been doing it for the last month or so, but i have the tools on board if it really stops, just hav'nt had the time lately.

    Check the earthing and other connections before running off and getting another starter, you can also pull apart clean and lube the solenoid if its only sticking.

    mmm I don't even get whirring! methinks brushes though as a friendly tap with the tyre lever sees it starting first go...
