Have a word with Neil from 105Speed.com He's supplied a few Brise ones to Zetec owners and they're all pleased with them.

Cheers for the plug Mike

 

We do the Brise ones for our Zetec customers, I have one on my own car and am very happy with it.

 

Price is £179+VAT & Delivery.

 

The nice thing about the Brise ones is that the solenoid is internal so they are as compact as the original.

 

What I would say is though you can get 5 standard motors for that price, so unless you are running a real high compression motor then you may want to think if its something you really need.

Thanks for the info Neil. It probably doesn't really need a high torque starter, but is a pig to start when cold (not helped by a worn ring gear which causes the starter to jam!)
