For as long as I have had my car I have had an intermittent starter problem. I am not entirely sure what is happening but my guess is the solenoid isn't fully engaging the pinion into the ring gear. Very rarely I will turn the key and get a high speed grinding noise and hear that that the engine isn't turning at all. Probably 95% of the time this happens it wont do it again on the second attempt to start and will function properly. The issue doesnt happen very frequently, maybe 1 in 10 starts if that. Am I over due for a new starter or is there perhaps something else at fault? I don't know much about starter motors, are they universal, can I just run down to an auto parts store and get one or do I need to special order one?
