The battery is good starter motor changed (2nd hand) all connections checked just wondering what it could be I have ordered a relay from toyota to see if that is the problem but I'm all out of ideas any help will be much appreciated.

Nick85 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Do you mean your starter motor broke and you've just put a 2nd hand one in and it still clicks. If so are you sure the 2nd hand one was fully working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Have you checked the battery, is the alternator charging it ? Put a meter on it if you haven't already and check its voltage and check it when its running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul21uk Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I brought the sater on the info that it is working. My battery is healthy my alternator has been changed. The car bump starts but I can't start it with another car jumping it or anything like that. Just purely a bump start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Do you mean your starter motor broke and you've just put a 2nd hand one in and it still clicks. If so are you sure the 2nd hand one was fully working? This. Toyota sell a starter motor refurb kit for sensible money, so you can refurb your one instead of shelling out megabucks for a brand new unit or take a gamble with a 2nd hand unit. I've never personally refurbed one but I'm led to believe the hardest part of the job is removing it from the car, something you'd need to do whether you do a straight swap or a refurb.

DodgyRog Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I have a Starter here that was on my NA engine, was working perfectly before the transplant I will do it for £25 delivered and can get it booked on the Courier for tomorrow if you decide quickly, as off on the Dragonball tomorrow It's actually already boxed ready to go because Ash was supposed to be having it, but I have been waiting for payment for 3 months, so it's yours if you want it Edited May 15, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You may find that giving the starter a good clonk with a hammer through a piece of hardwood will get it to go to keep you going for the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
