Changing to new headers! It went easy. But upon reassembly and fire up time. No noise from starter!
A pretty new one at that less than 1000 miles!
Seem to remember someone trying to find out about Mitsubishi mini starters fitting.. Any luck on that front?

You don't need a new starter Jeff. They are easy to fix unless something broke off or burned out.

I suppose the first question is did you wire it up right and are you getting 12 volts at the right places at the right time?

Soleinoid not kicking in at all Dave, put 12v to it and nothing! I have od one that is kicking in and spinning, but I do not trust it! I fancy a mini starter.

Money burning a hole in your pocket or something mate?

Nah! They are easier to fit! Right it is 9.30 am. I am just taking motor down to local electrical engineers, they say they can do it for friday! Billing may still be on yet, that is if I can get the ol exhuast sorted as well. Shoulda done this months ago. Too busy taking notice on how difficult it is to replace headers. Drivers side off and replaced in less than an hour! Do youselves a favour, get a 'B', there is so much more room!

Now I have a manual steering box it looks a lot easier on the Challenger as well.

You should have pulled it apart yourself first mate. It is only a coil of wire. 90% chance it is either a contact that has come off or it is mechanicaly stuck. Easy stuff to fix.

Bet it is a contact, I dropped it a bit while installing it! Was ok when I took it off!

Beyond repair?
What did you do to it Jeff?

Or did you tell them to say that for the wifes sake you cunning old devil?

by **jeff** » 30 May 2001 16:19

Do you know? they quoted me £145 for a new one. I told em! No thanks!

by **dave-r** » 30 May 2001 17:30

I would have thought Hausers would charge you that much as well.

by **dave-r** » 30 May 2001 17:35

Or is that what you were saying?
