Starter motor **UPDATE*New picture*
« on: 31 December 2011, 11:17 »
Went into Unipart to get myself a replacement starter to be told they are £75 upwards and it could be one of six variants (8 tooth, 9 tooth, 2kw... etc)

Any truth in this?

He had my reg and engine code so would have thought it would have been more accurate?

you got a multimeter to test it? Try touching the switched wire direct to the battery and see if the solenoid kicks

Right update i have got it off to test it, wired up the casing to -VE and the power and switched to +VE and i get this?

Should it spin or what? It obviously works, but no spin?

When it was still in car i could not hear this 'click' of the shaft shooting out though?
