WANTED - GTi Starter Motor

Hey guys, the starter motor on my mk2 ph1 GTi has given up the ghost, and I've drawn a blank with the local scrapyards.

Has anyone got a working starter motor that at a decent price please?

Many thanks, Neil.

Yeah, i mailed him on ebay a few weeks back and he wanted £50, which i thought was a bit much considering only the week before i got an alternator for £25 inc P&P, and that's a similar size and weight to the starter.

Can anybody help? Surely someone out there in Swiftland must have a working starter kicking about in their garage that i can take off their hands for a reasonable price?

why dont you get the old one rebuilt

Yeah, looks like I'm going to have to steve. I've fetched the old one off the car, tried the old "gentle tap with a hammer" trick, and that hasn't worked. Thought about opening it up and checking the brushes etc, but to be honest I'm shite with electrics, I'd much rather do a mechanical job like replace the headgasket.

take it somewhere they do starters altenetors etc wont cost too much


steve

He only wants 15 u could get it for 20 with postage
