Hi All
So last night I replaced the starter (Milners ?175.00). Looks exactly like
the original and required two wires to be disconnected and one nut and one
bolt to be removed. Hardest part was getting the car jacked up using the
pathetic two tonne jack I bought from Halfrauds. Propped it up and removed
wheel and access was relatively straightforward. The old motor was stuck
fully extended on the spring so the contacts are welded tight. Checked over
the wiring and all seemed ok so once the new one was installed, reconnected
the bats and, with everything crossed, cranked her up....and she started
first turn!!!!! Bats were very low though so I took her for a quick livener
and all seems ok now. Total job took me just over an 1 1/2hrs. Will need
to investigate Neil's idea about breakers in the bat cables.
Next job, full service, new timing belt and have a look at the exhaust
(Renate to advise me on her Stainless non rusting wonder pipe).
