What is wrong wih this Subaru?
2007 Subaru Forester 2.5 XS
I think it is the starter? It sounds like it is grinding against metal. What do you think?
Video of the car:
Thanks

There's a bearing on the nose of the starter motor. This failed on my classic. It's easy to replace and is a standard needle roller bearing easily available on the net.
Be careful replacing the starter. The bolts are a fine thread into aluminium and are easily stripped. A torque wrench is a good friend when working on a Subaru. ISTR they are different lengths.
Don't forget to disconnect the battery before working on the starter. Clearance is tight and a short makes a big mess.
