Starter motor

[Paul jorgensen]

My starter motor has packed up can anyone recommend a replacement, do I keep it original or go High torque. My car is still positive earth does this make a difference to which one I purchase???

Cheers Paul

Some are negative earth only - ie Powerlite RAC800

My starter with the cover removed, has anyone fitted a high torque starter on a positive earth car that they would recommend?

I had a rewind with new pinion fitted. I also have a high torque pre engage starter still in its box!

Thanks Keith/Pete

Looking into the high torque starters Powerlite do provide one for both positive and negative earth cars its their RAC418, after much consideration I chose to keep it original and opted for a new Lucas re-manufactured one by them.
This one is powerlite PCS00102



I ordered it on Tuesday and received it yesterday and fitted it, my engine fired up on the 2nd turn of the key so now happy.
