Broken starter motor options?
Discussion
Fitted the starter motor, made the connections and the the terminal snapped off, an inspection shows it has been partially broken for some time
So is it possible to replace the solenoid or is it a new motor?, if new motor does anyone have any recommendations?, my old one was always quite slow at cranking

You could replace the solenoid but it isn't worth doing unless you cure the slow cranking
Assuming that all the vehicle wiring is good, the slow cranking is likely to be caused by bad commutation, you would need to strip the motor down, skim the commutator face in a lathe and fit new brushes

The Global Power brand starter I bought from a Range Rover parts specialist for £68 over 6 years ago still cranks my engine super strongly and has been totally reliable all these years.
You don't need an overpriced Wasp or £200 Powerlite starter which are just adapted Denso starters anyway.
Spend £70 and its job done.
