Hi guys,
New and young ej9 owner. Got the car about a week or so ago and been okay mechanically only issue on purchase being a check engine light but that was said to be a "faulty o2 sensor due to it having a modded exhaust". Only recently has it sounded as if something is grinding. Any ideas as to what it could possibly be?

Thanks for any help
 
I just watched the video. You're talking about that very short grind right before the engine actually stays running? That is most likely a worn out starter. It's not a big deal. The teeth are just a little worn out. It doesn't affect the drivng at all but it will eventually wear out enough to the point where it won't catch the flywheel well enough to start the car.
 
Yeah that grind is what I'm on about. I'll sort that out then just so its sorted. Appreciate the help
