you can take your starter motor off and clean (service) it , im a novice and i managed it easy enough , just disconnect battery and get radio code! look on youtube for help as most starter motors are the same so if your vehicle aint there just follow a similar model..

sounds like your glow plugs need replacing...i had same problem last year

probably the starter motor get one from a scrap yard as long as the solidnoid comes with it! easy enough to fit yourself providing you have a jack!
