Clio 182 starter motor squeak, rough idle, and reviving by itself

[ClioTrophyNo.78]

Hi all,

I just replaced my gearbox in my Clio 182 and got everything bolted up. Tried to start it for the first time and the starter motor makes a horrible squeek when starting. It’s also hesitant to start and when it does, it’s very lumpy. After about 10 mins or so it starts revving. Does anyone have any idea of where to start?

Thanks
