when I got my first camper 6 vans ago it came with a box of spares Most of the things I sold or gave away as not needed Kept the bosh starter motor had two go's at getting it up and working but dead My starter on the camper is sometimes slow cranking But always starts so Yesterday traded in the dead bosh So old starter non working + £18 = a brand new RTX starter motor Just going to fit it and keep mine as a spare see how well it works And it came with a gear box bush It's very light Will it work
See post #4 https://passionford.com/forum/general-car-related-discussion/422094-eurocar-parts-starter-motor.html If I needed a new starter motor I’d get a PowerLite RAC423 https://www.powerlite-units.com/starters/rac423.html or a WOSP LMS479 https://www.ccw-tools.com/WOSP-LMS4.../G-Reduction-Gear-Starter-Motor__p-39937.aspx
i have the WOSP unit - very good quality, lighter than oem, more torque, less current drain.. all good. yes its a bit pricey
I have a Powerlite in the V8 MGB, it’s very similar to the WOSP - good quality, lighter, more torque - but considerably cheaper.
Will fit it over the weekend or when we are all on lock down Will keep you all posted It will go well with my Power spark dizzy Lion battery both 6 or 7 years old about 18000 miles but still going I do carry a spare points dizzy Now a cheap stater to keep the other parts happy (or not ) Ps it's got a 2 year replacement As we will all be board will put up photos
With a 7 year old battery, I would get that tested. Its probably OK but might be not helping when the starter motor has to work hard.
I think a lot of the Bosch recon ones are crap now. Also NEVER use anything from Eurolec, geared (powerlite)? or otherwise, ever. Best strip what you have and rebuild, or get trusted workshop to do that for you. Expensive experience.... Battery condition is everything-£100,000 car is just a heap without a good battery. An intelligent battery charger (optimate) saved it's cost several times over by less ruined batteries. They don't like standing idle.
