I'm guessing this is a CVH It's a common problem with the starters on them, they get very tight when hot. You can try a strip down and build but it may not fix it. If you can get the later geared starter motor from the Mk3 Fiesta Diesel and Zetecs.
If you replace it watch out for the connections, some use a spade terminal for the small connection, others use a round terminal. So be prepared to change this connector. But, first of all check the main battery and earth connections at each end to make sure they are clean and tight, just incase it's that. But usually poor connections show up worse when the engine is cold.
