I've changed the brush pack in the starter motor to no avail.
battery voltage when charged is 12.6v.., engine running at 1500rpm then voltage is 13.6v.
Anyone have a clue what I should start with (no pun intended!).

If it's your starter that's sluggish, change it, as they can chew up the teeth on the starter ring if they don't engage cleanly. £150 for a recon starter is a lot less than removing the gearbox to change the starter ring when the starter will no longer engage with it. I learnt this the hard way!
