Smoking starter motor!
« on: 31 May 2015, 18:19:38 »
Stranded in B&Q's car park today as Mig wouldn't start and smoke emitting from the starter motor.
Can any of the wonderful OOF mobiles help with supplying and fitting a starter, please?
Obviously I cannot take the ar to anyone - Green Flag got me home.....eventually!

Thats not good, they draw awesome amount of current when working, might be worth checking your pos feed to the starter and earth return to the battery as well.

Already done that, zirk, when I suspected the cabling a while ago and after checking and tightening, etc., it appeared to behave itself......until today - the motor was not turning at all and was smoking, so I'm pretty sure it's a goner!

Not often they fail so a 2nd hand one is probably a reasonable prospect. :y

"flyer", all connections are sound and secure, and the battery voltage dropped significantly when trying to crank - no rotation from the starter, only smoke!
Obtaining another starter at a sensible price is only part of the problem, gents; I have neither the skills or facilities to replace it and as I said originally, I'm looking for an OOF mobile mechanic to come to Witham and help me here, as I can't bump start an automatic and it doesn't have a starting handle! .

RobG, how much are you asking for that starter motor? Carriage won't be cheap, unfortunately.

Please can anyone confirm that a starter moter from a 3.2 will fit a 2.6?
