Default think my starter is goin out

sometimes when i go to start my truck in the mornings when i turn the key the starter will just free spin, like i know it is gettin power but you know the little part that juts out to engage the flywheel, well it sounds like that bit isnt doing its job, after multiple tries of turn the key, wait for it to stop spinning, turn the key again it will finally engage and off i go... has anyone else had this issue and does it mean a new starter or somthing else, also when my truck is running the lights pulsate, all my lights interior, dash, headlights... am i right to asume that this means possibly a new alternator should be ordered also? help me out fellas... its a 97 disco with 155000 miles and there is really no telling if and when either of these items were replaced...

If there is any question, go have an alternator/battery load test performed and go from there.

Check and clean ALL earth straps from batt to body,eng to body etc.Also cleanthe starter connections

Also adding an extra earth strap from the engine to the body is a good tip for D1's

Sounds like the starter is going out.
As for the lights pulsating...alternator or bad serp belt.

From what I have heard the starter on a Rover is a PIA to replace, allen head bolts, hard to reach and rusted in place.

I would not condem it yet, not unitl you have "atleast" cleaned all the dirt /corrosion from the starter connections, battery cables and earth straps.
