My starter is getting worse. I don't have the facilities to install another one, I understand that an engine mount has to be taken off. How much will it be to get it done at a shop, 250? :'(
The brushes/commutator are trashed after driving/floating through the June floods. ::) Have to turn the key 10-20 times before it will crank. >:(

You got a better response under 'General Chat' :(

Yeah, makes me feel better about not even looking at 'General Help' for 4 months. :-[ ::)

All I can do is spout the same answers over and over again. I either have the same old problems, or something completely unusual. Didn't see anyone else trying to use their miggy as a deep fording vehicle and then leaving it to rot for 3 weeks. :-[

I cant say that I have every touched a V6 starter motor.
Yes its an engine mount out job so probably 1-1.5 hours work.....and given how rarely they fail, a second hand one should work just fine.

Cheers. Yeah, that's what I thought. I can get a shop to put in a used one for me, which will save a lot, but it is harder to schedule.
So, NE1 have a used starter? :-?

Yeah, how about one I don't have to hoist the engine to get at? ;) Funny, I was up your way today on the M-Slow.
Do we think it is the same 2.5/3.0? :-?

Final answer:
174 quid! :-[
At least it works now. Time to start carrying oil around in the boot again I guess. ::)

Thats a big difference from "about £66+vat" .. would you be willing to explain why ?? :(
