the only way your starter is over running is if your keepig the key turned for too long or your starter switch to starter wiring is wrong and you would here the noise of this when starting vehicle ... i would get a OEM part from vauxhall and try this .. if this works good .. then claim your money back from manufacturers of bad starters ..
