Cant believe it got the over heating sorted,done a few miles around the town all going fine.But popped to the battle axes with the missis and kids had a cuppa and a gab,went to start it up and was met with a loud grinding noise and bugger all else.My father in law towed me off and headed the 3 or so miles home.At home i removed the starter to be met with.





How bad is my luck lately.Cant believe it,once more not a happy bunny

It sucks to be down on your luck, but things will be better! Look at it this way: one less thing to go wrong now!

I havent had a starter end up looking like that. Where's the rest of it?

The other part was removed in one piece luckly,it was just sat on the top of the ring gear.I had a bad feeling that i was going to have to seperate the engine and box to get to the parts.Does any one have a good second hand started for a 1.6 diesel hanging about they would like rid of cheap?If i get no luck with this post,i will post on wanted tomorrow.

i think armyphil had one in the for sale section

Does anyone know if mine is a early or late starter the numbers on it are 1005821101 and 1073017 1/01 any idea.i have been lookin on ebay and nothing seems to tally up with mine.

I've got both types the skinny and fat look in the for sale section dude I've got pictures of both in there

Looks like your skinny one - the solenoid is held away from the body of the starter.

Thanks for the heads up guys,i have poppped mine to a local repair shop who thinks he will have the parts to repair.If not i might take you up on the starter Armyphil if it would be possible to post?I know you have listed as 8090 post or collection only.just a long way from yours to mine,cheers.

how the hell could that happen in the first place is beyond me

it looks like the solenoid has been eating birds nest soup

I think it must of been a fracture there for a long while,if you can see on the photo there is some evidence of carbon from the clutch that has made its way into the fracture.
