I've got a problem (one of many) with White Knight.
To get it started, I have to roll the car in 5th a bit beforehand. Otherwise, it sounds like the starter motor is just spinning and grinding the teeth. I've been told the ring gear needs replacing.
The car is at the mechanics at the moment for a clutch change and he's inspected the ring gear. He said it's got some damage, and the starter motor was actually a bit loose, but he's pretty confident he can clean it up and get it going.
He said he's tried to source a ring gear from Nissan but they said there's none in Australia and it'd have to be imported from Japan with a 3 week turnaround time.
Does this all sound about right? Is there somewhere I can source a new ring gear in my own time? How do I know what kind of ring gear to get?
