Title: Starter motor
Post by: the.little.fox on 29 August 2005, 11:36: Hey,

Great. My poor golf has been sick for ages, but I get in it today and the bloody starter motor has died. :cry:Not good. Go down to my local Halfords and they tell me a new one from them will set me back... wait for it.. Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£156!!!! were they trying to be funny?

Cant get hold of my mate who has several golfs in bits in his garden! I've found one on ebay, says its off a mark 2 gti, but it dosn't say what year it's from. Are they all the same?

Has anyone here got one kicking around they could part with? I can't survive without my car!

Thanks people.
