Post by: Gatesy on November 02, 2007, 10:41:34 AM
Hey Guys has anyone got a pic of the underneath of their car that you can see the started motor on clearly.  Managed to get my car on a set of ramps at 6am tomorrow (oh the pain) an while they are taking my dragon gearbox brace off and putting the old one back on for the winter (so I can actually hear my stereo) I want to take the starter motor off and check it for corrossion.
Someone? Please?

Be sure to disco your battery before you remove the cables from the starter.

Cheers for the input guys, didnt have time to get the starter motor off this morning but after speaking to the mech and me attempting to start her on the ramps he said its defo the starter as you can hear it jamming when you try and start the engine.
Gonna try and source a second hand one as they are well expensive brand new.
