Vals starter motor has been annoying me for ages, so as a christmas present to her I thought I'd get a new one - obviously like all presents you buy for others I will not benefit from it at all

Anyway Vals engine is a CS 1600 (very slow) Diesel. Val is a Y reg however I think she has had an engine change at some point because her V5 shows 1.9 .

I've looked on the JK website and it shows 2 starter motors one for 1981 to 1984 1600 diesels and one for 1984 to 1992 1600 diesels.

JK starter motors clicky

So which one do I need, there is one on Fleabay at the moment which may save me a bit of cash, I just don't want to buy it and find out it's the wrong one!!

How do you tell what year an engine is??







hope these help !! Thanks guys

Sarah

put a picture up of the engine

Hope these help!





Thanks

Its defo not a 1.9d its either a 1.6 or 1.7

Can you see any numbers on the starter motor casing?
Its probably a bosch unit and should have a series of numbers.
If you can get these I might be able to help

Hiya

Can't see any numbers now as its too dark and cold!!

I know the engine is definitely the 1.6 non turbo, just dont know what the difference is between the 2 starters for different years - they look the same to me - just the price that's different!!!
