If you hear the whirring sound of the electric starter motor spinning but nothing else happening (no grinding/screetching etc.) , 99 % of the time , this means the Bendix (gear thing) on the starter is kaputi ~ if you like to tinker , order one up along with a set of new brushes and have at it .
Otherwise , replace the starter with a Bosch branded rebuilt unit .
Once it spins and flat refuses to crank the engine , here's a tip : spin it then let go the ignition key and turn it all the way off and then back to the cranking position *just* before the starter's inertia is gone , it'll grab and start your car .
DO NOT do this to cheaply squeeze a few more months/years out of your starter ! .

On a hard start day after the third try starting I am getting a whirring noise from the starter and the starter does not crank. Could this be the starter, the flywheel or both or something else?
BTW the new pictures on the page look great.
