And a BIG thanks to Ian for assisting my wife and the Jeep, as it also had issues.
A bolt on the bendix spring came loose and jammed the starter, while trying to start it, this then drained the battery of life. The starter motor got quite hot.
I got 6 years out of that battery...not too bad.
Had to pull the starter out and put bolt back in. All good now.
