Would I be right in assuming that my starter motor is on its way out, based on the following symptons

Sometimes, when turning the key, the starter motor turns but does not turn the engine, just get the loud noise of it spinning

After a couple of goes, or for some reason if I press the brake pedal, it catches and starts no worries

New starter or not?

its a 1991 200tdi.

Cheers
