[buba]

can anyone tell me what make and model of starter motor is fitted to my 97 4.2 cerbie i have an intermitent fault with starting and have replaced the battery and want to replace the starter motor. any help greatly appreciated.

I just had mine reconditioned.....this is better than buying a new one from TVR which are actually in short supply. Also new cost £300 and reconditioned costs £150 plus about 1/2 hour labour

For the starter call Tim at Curds in Tunbridge Wells. He supplied a OE one to me for £125 or thereabouts, 01892 525398. He is about 20 minutes from M25 should be reasonable for travel

From earlier PH thread here.

Mine's being replaced by Joolz on Tuesday! It's just about given up the ghost - lots of knashing for about 60 seconds before it eventually engages.

My advise is to call immediately. The manufacturer has run out of these, and it is 5 week delivery.

I know Curds have some recons coming in, but they actually cost him more than new!!!!

If you want to find out supply before Tuesday email me and i'll walk over the road!

Happy hunting

thanks for the help guys will give tim at curds a call and andy at apm. hope i wont a have a 5 week wait!

sorry guys .. i got the last one from Curds for Futie .. he hasn't got any more so he tells me.
you can have this one for 800 pounds though and I'll fob Futie off with some lame excuse from the south of France

I don't know where you are but I got my starter reconditioned for £128 inc. VAT through Autobits in Farnham (01252 714993).

I'll pass on that thanks joos, i wouldn't want to upset Futie.
I'm in west wickham kent Richard i dont think Farnham is to far away, will check the map, thanks.

Steve,

Has Tim sorted you out?

Joolz, if you need another i think there is one left insider knowledge helps

edited to say, btw, Joolz, is there an inexpensive option for changing front discs?

Make sure that your imobiliser is ok before replacement as mine was shot only to find out after new starter was fitted!!!!!!!!
Sometimes you pushed the starter switch but nothing happened, and other times it worked.
however Dream Machines did it all free of charge

Thanks for the advice stag. when i turn the car on and hit the button it lights the warning lights and starts the fuel pump is this similar to your problem. who is best to speak to at dream machine. thanks buba.
