a98pmalcolm Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hay all. Hope everyone is ok. I have a starter motor issue thats been tempramental forover a year. Sometimes take a while to get the engine to turn over as the starter just clicks and then it works fine for months. I had a thread on this before so we all know its the starter and they can be refurbed but im just goin to buy a new one and be done with it. I called up my trusty local motorfactor (Bedford Battery Co. Ltd, very good service and parts they do have always been great) and they can get a starter for my Supra next day but they said there are a few options, possiably 3 if i remember correctly. He said that he will need to check what the numbers are on the starter to make sure he can get the correct one. Does anyone know what on it will be for mine? Like what the most common one was i.e: part number etc.. Its a 1993, TT, Import, Manual Supra MK4 (non VVTI) Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If the starter is truly gubbed dude, the cheapest way is to Reburb it using the Method described in Technical, iv done this myself and has never missed a beat since. If its new(oem) your after then Paul whiffin can get parts cheaper than Toyota sometime, best give him a PM. And replace it with a NEW OEM part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If they have 3 options of starters, can they not tell you what one you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Only worth doing if the garage are going to fit it for you, either way the starter has to come off and takes about 20 mins to referb, even I can do it and I am crap with stuff like this.

Chris Wilson Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 AFAIK there's an N/A starter and the TT starter. Both will interchange, the N/A is more powerful (higher compression engine). Given it probably just wants new contacts in it you have money to burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
