Well after all these months I finally got time to fit a new starter. I’ve recently cleaned all the terminals. Have a new control module and relay in the front passenger fuse box fitted. Van has been sitting for a while. All I’m getting is a clicking noise from a brand new starter and the click is al...

Thanks mate I’m going to have my old u it repaired to save all the hassle thanks

It wasn’t only a fracture bigger in diameter but looked a little longer.

Thanks

Hello My new starter turned up and looks very similar but when trying to fit it the pinion shaft that goes into the bush was a fraction bigger than the old starter I used? So it wouldn’t fit. Are there two different sizes shafts?, I thought I ordered the correct one for a petrol DG engine. Can anyon...

Oh dear sorry guys I couldn’t find the original post.

Thanks for the help

Ok, so tested the starter motor and looks like it’s shot.
Don’t want to spent large amounts of cash on a Bosch unit as I’m going to sell it soon.

My worn starter is a copy part. Any good remade make out there that are reasonably priced?

It’s a 19.dg engine

Thanks guys

Hello,

I actually bought my replacement negative battery cable from brickwoks. It’s 35mm with 8mm ring terminal. Looks like the correct length.

Would this be acceptable to use?

Couldn’t find a brass exact copy of the original

Thanks

And yes the battery terminals are correct hahahaha

Hello,

I never touched the starter. It’s as it was. I haven’t tampered with the electrics except for the earths on the battery behind the seat and the gearbox. Going to test the starter tomorrow to see what’s the score. Then plan to check the ignition if no joy!

Thanks all for help

Thanks buddy, how do I tell if worn. Do I just look for burning evidence?

Thanks Lee

Hey thanks buddy

I can’t think of anything else it could be. I have nothing on they key now. It turned previously but did smell burning. And with the negative battery cable very hot I read the solenoid is probably fried.

Will check that first. Thanks for the help

How easy is it to remove a starter motor and can it be achieved without jacking it up ?

How many bolts have to be removed?

Thanks

Hey thanks for the reply. I tried putting fuel in the throat of the carb. Started to catch but didn’t. I’ve always had to do this if sitting for a while. Going to replace the fuel filter under the van. Looks a little nessy. I’m sure I smelt a little burning from the rear of the van. I’m wondering if...

Hello, I Replaced my battery a few days ago and hadn’t started my camper for about five months. Connect the new battery and the negative lead going to the battery got very hot. Reading forums online it said to replace the negative battery lead that grounds to the battery box. So I did and purchased ...

Can anyone advise?

Thanks Lee
