Title: starter motor
Post by: 126redbomb on May 09, 2014, 12:25:07 AM: Hi all! :wave
My Bis starter motor is stuffed! :cry:
Is there an alternative starter motor that will fit the Bis? :headscratch:
I am going to look into getting it recon but I can't find anyone near me yet that does it!
Cheers
Col

I contacted Barton and they wanted reconditioned Â£80 + vat exchange with a Â£50 surcharge. Delivery Â£10 + vat. :o
So like I say Mister -Auto starter is a bargain. :D I'm just ordering mine NOW.

Post by: Pete126 on May 16, 2014, 11:11:36 PM: Have you tested the starter motor? Connect the starter motor across a battery as in the photo, If the motor spins the fault is in the solenoid mounted on top, These can be bought separately for about 23 euro,

Post by: 126redbomb on May 22, 2014, 03:05:40 PM: Hi Pete, it is the solenoid that's dead (all those years of me trying to get my car to run properly, when infact it was ok all along).
I might be getting rid of both of them anyway. I'm defo selling my a/c because its sat there for too long doing nothing plus I need the space. The same chap who is buying the a/c will hopefully buy the Bis as well.
Oh well
Cheers for your help
