Subaru Forester Starter removal and replacement

This Subaru has always suffered from a weak starter since i bought it, the starter works when the car has a fully charged battery but it quickly runs the battery down, and as the handbrake can seize now and then it makes it awkward to push start the car, not to mention its weight makes it difficult to push. I took the starter out and brought it to an auto electrician to have it refurbished but it was beyond repair, so i went to a Subaru breakers instead and purchased a starter for £30 which starts the car up very quickly. The starter has been in a week now and there have been no more problems getting the car running.
