Just seen that they charge £99 so I will DIY it.

New motor for less than £20 - or should I try brushes first?

Any traps on dismantling it?

Should I get some brushes from local shop - or order a new motor off Ebay?
Dilemma.

Does the brush wear look sufficient to explain the failure? Personally I
would try new brushes first, but likely to be much cheaper on eBay than
in a shop. After all they will still be suitable spares even if you end
up with a new motor.

It depends on the nature of the sparks.
If there is a ring of sparks tending to go round the commutator surface
then it is highly likely the armature has problems.
If the sparks are mainly along the edges of the brushes and not
circumferential then either the brushes are worn too short, there is
insufficient spring pressure or the brush is binding in its guide.
Different amount of sparking on one brush to the other suggests brush
problems.

Brushes from shop or online.

Need to get a slim torx tomorrow.

Well they are costing the labour that you wont charge yourself, so I'd think
their price is not over the top. If it were I and no other damage then
replace the motor completely.

Motor ordered - I mand the right decision - the communtator is in a bit of
a state. One brush crumbled away.

All plastic parts washed and awating the motor - had to buy a Torx driver
as my adaptors would not reach down the counterbores to get to a couple of
them.
