Still have in the A35 as well as a Krooklok to clout the starting
motor into motion!

Do that to many a modern design of starter motor and it will never
work again!

That made me smile! But seriously , when did you last have to thump
a starting motor - I mean a "modern car"?

In may work, if they were 'thumpable', quite often...
