Hi Neil, that's a really good point, I'd overlooked that.
I've done just that tonight and have about 0.5mm of free play with the bendix fully extended against the spring clip near the top of the shaf so it's not that that's causing the issue.
I will report back once I've got my new starter on to let you know how it went. I hope the starter cures it as I'm looking forward to having a fully functioning starter.
