Branners Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Looks like the starter motor on my UK spec has completely failed. Should I be asking Phoenix to refurb it, put on a new one or track down one from a scrapper? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Send it to CW for refurb. About £60 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 thanks, wasnt aware he did refurbs on them. I will PM him now. Its going to be one of those months, I just had a caliper seize on the citroen which is going to cost a fortune and then the starter on the supra goes caputt. Im now left driving a Celica from work, and its sooo boring. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpher Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Its most likely just the solenoids (are what you guys call it) that are gone...and needs replacing I had the local Toy-shop do mine a few weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 But our dealers charge ~919NOK per hour in labour How does that compare ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 thanks for the PM Steve. The starter is still on the car while it waits to go in to Phoenix to be checked over so I cant send it up with you, but thanks for the offer. I will see what sort of price Phoenix come back with once the car gets to them. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 No worries mate. Thought it was worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 do it yourself. theres nothing to it, 95% change itll be your solenoid, it'll cost you £14 for the bits from toyota and a few hours of your life to get it off and back on. mine went about 4months ago. awkward to get to, make sure youve got the right tools and its easy, 14m ratchet spanner if i remember rightly.

lpher Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 But our dealers charge ~919NOK per hour in labour How does that compare ? Just about the same i think...and they used 5 hours!! ...but they only charged me for 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
