Bosch WFK2801 motor problem?

The motor on my Bosch WFK2801 is playing up. It is making a strange knocking sound. The motor works intermittantly, and sometimes if it isn't working it starts working with a bang directly to it.

I have checked on the internet and it seems a new motor is about ÂŁ190.

Is there a cheaper alternative to a new motor? Can it be reconditioned?

Thanks for the reply. Could anyone give me a quick DIY guide to stripping the bushes out of the motor?

strip the brushes out of the motor check there length , they may be just sticking in the brush holder, if on the other hand very little carbon remains 1/4" or 3/8" invest in a new set of brushes these will be about 1"to 1 1/4" in the holder
DO NOT RELEASE THE BRUSHES FREE TILL FITTED TO THE MOTOR this is cheaper than a new motor.
