Title: Starter Motor
Post by: Geo111 on December 27, 2012, 06:22:58 PM

Hi All,

Looking for a working starter motor, Mine has given up the ghost and quotes to fix have been OTT.

Look forward to hearing from you

I should add I am happy with any sort, its for a bis engine but happy fitting the old style pull cord one.

It should be cheaper to have it fixed then replace it surely!?

Thanks Kent

Yes and No,

I am looking into both avenues at the moment and I have seen second hand ones in the past sell for cheaper than a refurb cost.

so looking down both alley ways,

However If you know a good Refurb place please let me know, (kent I am local to you so somewhere around us so I don't have to pap P&P would be amazing)

Cheers

Hi just in case, there is someone who races 126 bis and has some cars lying round he might have one I've had stuff of him before I don't know his number but here's a link to a recent eBay listing if it helps

I have one but it is an old one, and it is knackered. I am looking to get it refurbished to use on my car. If I find a good place locally, I will let you know  :D

 This is a good place. Might be worth a shot.

 One of the guys working there used to have a 126.

 I possibly have a working spare one, but I`ll have to check.

Either there or here;

Just been quoted £30 to have  existing starter motor reconditioned, + £10 next day delivery. Im assuming if you dont need it in a hurry delivery will be cheaper;
