it's not just the brushes it's the starter contacts also and the contacts
are the more common fault.
I replaced the contacts after my starter died, that worked fine for a few
weeks then it developed a different fault which was due to the bushes.
I got a new starter very cheaply and just replaced it. I'll get round to
changing the brushes on the old one day and sell it on.
Carrying a spare starter and alternator is fine if you have the room and
can cope with the weight , and also if your getting them for a good
price,otherwise you need to service them as Julian suggests. If you do buy
the used ones, dont take them with you and assume they are working properly
, as I said already you need to be sure they work by installing them. If
they do, then leave them in and you'll know you've got working spares and
saved a good bit cash.
