Hello, lately I've been having trouble starting the car, it seems that the starter moter had trouble cranking the engine (made a funny noise and didn't seem to crank the engine over, everything looked like it was slipping back).

Anyway, at the moment, it's not doing anything (not even making a clicking noise, just nothing) when I turn the ignition.
I have checked that the two leads to the solenoid on the starter are getting 6v, and I also took my battery to supercheap for a free diagnosis and it scored 100%.

After some advice on what I should do. Is there another lead I should check?
The starter doesn't look too hard to get out from what I can tell (am I mistaken?), If I do this (is it advised), is there further common diagnosis I can do on it?

If It is the starter, what are my chances on getting a replacement? Are there any other types that can go in? Is reconditioning a valid option?

Thanks for the time,
look forward to your opinions,
- James.

(This is something i'd like sorted out pretty soon)
