A mate recently bought a Honda civic 1.4 '99 with 109k miles.

Its a great example for the money asked and drives fine except for two things, on bumpy roads theres a 'knock' from the front passenger side. Im presuming this is a bushing. As there is no noise when pushing the car down on the front wing.

The main thing though is when starting the car, it sounds very strange, it starts grand but its like the starter tries to go for another second and makes a strange 'cranking' noise. At least i think its the starter. It sounds like its coming from it. What would the problem be?

Cheers.
