Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

FTO starter motor

keithsfleet · 2013-02-25 19:24:55

I've a dodgy starter again. Can hear it spinning but it won't engage the flywheel. It happened 9 months ago and got a second hand starter but from what I remember I couldn't take apart the motor to try recondition it. Any advice on it? I'll eventually replace it but with work I won't get a chance to pick one up for another…

They're mental money new, why not drop the old motor in somewhere for recon?

Yes I remember last time looking and physically gulping when I seen the price. Ended up finding a smashed up fto in a scrapers.
I might dig around for the old starter and see if I can jimmy it open and have a prod before I start ringing round.
