Title: Starter Motor - needs re-conditioning
Post by: Kent126 on November 19, 2010, 10:57:54 AM: Guys,
When my fiat comes out of the garage, I will have a spare starter motor. It will need re-conditioning as it is knackered by all accounts, but I can sell it as I don't have a deposit paid on the new one.

Not sure I can be arsed with re-conditioning it myself, so if anyone wants to make me a sensible offer, around the Â£50 mark?, if not ill stick it on eBay.

Regards,
Tom

Used from Poland fully working are only about Â£9 + postage

The mechanic said it wasn't too bad either, probably just needs some brushes and the starting arm is totally fubared!

As I am learning rather quickly, you can never have enough spare parts. :oops:
