Started up my Nova the other day and I noticed the starter makes an odd noise (dunno if its odd or its just me) The noise only occurs when the engine has started and you have disengaged the starter.

Cant really describe the noise wouldnt say its a grinding noise as in metalic but it sounds a little rough. Im guessing its the original starter 1985

But it starts no problems.

Is this normal or have my ears become pickey?

If it turns out to be a new starter time then are there any starters that sound better then others? It mite sound stupid but id prefer one to sound nice bit like on my dads X20XEV. Starts sweet and sounds good lmao

Diesels tend to have good sounding starters. Would the Nova diesel starter fit my 1.2?

P.S. my bro's Cav SEH has sounded like this and my mechanic mate said that the starter could be going out.
