BaileyMex Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 She Live's!!!! Finally bite the bullet and bought one of those fangled H&H High Torque Starter Motors and Fitted it Saturday afternoon. OH MY GOD (In a Janice from Friends voice) What a difference!!! I worked my way through four standard Inertia type starter motors over the last couple of years This thing turned over the engine and fired it into life ON THE BUTTON after sitting in the garage dead for three weeks!!! It was not a straight forward fit tho, for a normal 4 speed bellhousing it would have probably been fine, but coz mine is the hydrollic 2000E box, it was fouling either the bell housing or the steering rack whichever whay you tried it, so had to remove the bellhousing plate, re drill some new holes after much measuring and re checking and BINGO slotted straight in!! Moment of truth.....turn ignition on, couple of pumps on the go pedal....wince and turn...... VVeeeRRRROOOOOMMMMMM I am SO impressed, it starts better than my Mrs BMW now Now it starts I can take it into work for an MOT tomorrow morning.....Fingers crossed hey
