Starter Motor

Post by polchraine »

I have seen the thread about checking a starter motor and am 99% confident mine has failed. I was sluggish for a couple of days and then just stopped - recovery driver was fairly certain too. Bump starting worked but lights fully bright, and do not dim, electrical connections fine &c so it is probably the brushes.

So, how easy is it to actually replace?

Any tips or hints?

It's fairly straight forward, I had to change mine on the roadside because the car was stranded!
