    Probably the starting motor sticking. You could remove it and clean the bendix gear. Although it could grind little each morning for years and not break.

    Could be anything and it'll be impossible for us to figure out here.
    Since you are third party I suggest your friend record it for a mechanic.

    Good luck trying to find a bendix on a pre-engaged starter.
