hi have not long purchased a t25 1983 kamper on my journey home from south coast back to cardiff i stoped at the services and then the van wouldnt start we banged the starter motor in the engine with no joy and ended up calling the aa. whilst they were there i noticed the original starter under the van was still fitted we banged this and all started on our way again thank goodness. i have had no problems starting since but am confussed as to why i have two starters and havent yet found a garauge to take it to any suggestions!!!!

Two starter motors. Are you sure? If the original was still fitted.Where is the second one situated.We need to see pictures!

The starter solenoid is above the startermotor itself .... is this a manual or automatic ? Petrol or diesel ?
