snakey135 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I did give that a go... thing is my arms aren't long enough to hit it and turn it over at the same time lol was going to take it off and bring it into work today to try and free it up but the bloody thing has welded itself on!! Need some lever bars on it me thinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Any recommendations on a new starter?? Or is a Jayar car parts standard one as good as any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'd probably just get one from my local motor factors dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Ok I took the starter off and tested it using my jump pack and it kicks out and seems to spin up fine. when on the car it clicks in every now and then without turning it over but 9 times out of 10 it doesn't even click in... I'm thinking it's clicking in the first time then getting stuck on the teeth so that's why it doesn't click afterwards.... i turned the the engine over by bottom pulley to make sure engine not seized and went round lovely... my conclusion is is off the car the starter spins up fine but on the car it just doesn't have enough minerals to turn the engine any more... ive looked on ignition car parts and I'm confused why a new starter is 50 odd pound and a recon one is over 100 notes??

Krzys Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Pattern part brand new vs reconditioned OEM I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakey135 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 That's why I love you guys!!! That hadn't crossed my mind! well Jayar car parts want £185 before surcharge for a pattern! £87 after surcharge... think ill I'll go for the new pattern from ignition car parts... already thrown nearly £400 at her this month!!!

snakey135 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Well, still no time for the deck with this mammoth of a project house to deal with... but I still pop on occasionally to see what you guys have been up to. plus, time away from the deck gives me time for ideas... what I’m wanting it to look like now... probably will change again in future but right now this is what I want it looking like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) I’m loving this look right now... wish I had the time to make it happen! “This will decimate all, after I put about 15 grand in it, or more, if i have to... overnight parts, from Japan!” Edited March 19, 2018 by snakey135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
