	After decades of reliable service, the Rover K-Series starter motor can ~~become anemic~~ and drain a marginal battery pretty quickly.		After decades of reliable service, the Rover K-Series starter motor can strain to turn the engine over and drain a marginal battery pretty quickly.

	A service of the starter motor can bring it back to its original starting power.		A service of the starter motor can bring it back to its original starting power.

	# The starter motor has a permanent live cable running to the battery in the front service compartment. Make sure the disconnect the battery before servicing the starter as it is very easy to short ~~that~~ cable accidentally.		# The starter motor has a permanent live cable running to the battery in the front service compartment. Make sure the disconnect the battery before servicing the starter as it is very easy to short the live cable accidentally.
	# The starter is earthed to the chassis (big black wire). It’s a good idea to check and clean the earth connections from the battery to the front of the chassis and from the starter to the rear of the chassis. A poor earth will rob the starter of power.		# The starter is earthed to the chassis (big black wire).

	# You need to remove the starter to service it~~; with~~ the early bootbag S1, ~~this~~ can be ~~done easily~~ by removing the bootbag and bootpanel. For later models, not sure how this is done, perhaps from the left side wheel well, or certainly easy to do access if the rear clam is off.		# You need to remove the starter to service it. With the early bootbag S1, the starter can be accessed from above by removing the bootbag and bootpanel. For later models, not sure how this is done, perhaps from the left side wheel well, or certainly easy to do access if the rear clam is off.
	# Once the battery is isolated, you can remove the earth, live and the trigger cables from the starter unit. Clean all these connections while here.		# Once the battery is isolated, you can remove the earth, live and the trigger cables from the starter unit. Clean all these connections while here.
	# You need to remove the two M12 bolts that hold the starter to the bellhousing.

	# At this point you can split the unit to give it a good clean of all the carbon deposits (eg with contact cleaner) and treat any rust which may ~~begin~~ to take hold inside the housing.		# At this point you can split the unit to give it a good clean of all the carbon deposits (eg with contact cleaner) and treat any rust which may have begun to take hold inside the housing.
	# Visually check for any burnt wiring or connections. Inspect the brushes on the brush holder and the commutator segments. They shouldn’t be too worn.		# Visually check for any burnt wiring or connections. Inspect the brushes on the brush holder and the commutator segments. They shouldn’t be too worn.
	# With a multi-meter set to lowest ohm settings, you can test the continuity of the windings on the commutator segments, first each segment to the core (should be OL – ie no shorts), then each to its next to its neighbor (should be about 0.3ohms), then each segment against its opposite side. (should be the same).		# With a multi-meter set to lowest ohm settings, you can test the continuity of the windings on the commutator segments, first each segment to the core (should be OL – ie no shorts), then each to its next to its neighbor (should be about 0.3ohms), then each segment against its opposite side.
