You could also consider getting your starter motor reconned at a local place where smaller garages send their stuff.

That's what I did. I took my van into a garage in Bolton & the mechanic took the starter off, had it reconned locally & refitted it the same day. The price was £65.00.

check all your earth straps are clean and touching bare metal before forking out the hard earned squids for another starter, i nearly made that mistake

Are all Air cooled starter motors the same, would one from lets say a 1200cc fit a 1600cc?

As I think I have fried mine today, after trying to fire up a replacement engine

Sorry to hijack the thread, but thought I'd post here instead of starting a new starter motor thread.

Cheers
