Starter motor solenoid

[Scoobimax]

Hi folks,

In the growing list of jobs to do, another has been added whist doing the engine mounts, in that I need a new starter motor solenoid.

I'm struggling to read the part number on the casing and wondered if anyone knows more detail so I can obtain one?

I've seen ths on flea-bay and wondered if it would work?

Thanks,

Max

That's only the end cap, not a complete soleniod?

What's the problem, small terminal broken ?

Correct !!

I'd repair if I can't find a replacement or they're mega bucks

Hi Max you could try contacting this seller http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250962182830

Couple of pictures of my spare starters, got the three screws vendor mentions so looks promising Max ?







The silver soleniod is an "aftermarket" replacement, no identification on it at all but black one is genuine Bosch, part No. 0331 303 086 586

Thanks Mike.

I was missing the last 3 digits - I'd got the 0331 303 086.

I'll have to drop the solenoid off and perhaps take it with me to a motor factors or auto electrical supplies.

Or see if the cap comes off easily to go for the repair route.

Does say "crimp type", possibly not easy to fit with your average tool kit?

I used Startermotor.co.UK for my solenoid their details are in 'useful links' they are based in Plymouth. I called in but they post out.... no need to go through eBay go direct and speak directly to them. Graham

Cheers.

Think I've found one on eBay from a Birmingham motor factors at a reasonable price. Just want to separate the original from the starter motor to view the end mechanism first before ordering.

Arrived - excellent service from Vehicle Electrics (Birmingham) Ltd.

Friendly and great service; and very keenly priced.

So, I'm on the final furlong - fit the solenoid and starter back on to the car, fluid up clutch & cooling, then bleed and we're ready for the dreaded MOT.

Nice one Max. Good luck with the MOT.

[Scoobimax]

All the bits are bolted back on the car. Just got to fluid up with 5.1 and antifreeze, bleed both systems and the we're good to go.

Got all the bits to piggy-back an override switch to the otter switch too but will do that after the MOT.

Thanks for all the help and advice from various peeps on here - this place always never ceases to amaze me.
