Great...

[Martin]

so I'm forking out for a cat2 immoboliser next week and now the starter motor is ****ed and the roof doubles as a fish tank! :x :(

sunroof is fairly easy to seal mate. even easier if u dont have headlining.

Ive heard your a dab hand with starter motors.

[Zollo]

I've been crossing my fingers for you mate. Clearly it hasn't worked!

[Rich]

my sunroof has being playing silly ****ers, hopefully i may have finally sorted mine this week so i fo feel for you martin. cat2's a bit of a bummer though mate.

[Zollo]

How many fingers do u actually have Zollo... :wink:

Not enough? :wink:

[bluenose]

Have you got the old starter off? If you can get a valeo number i should be able to get you one for reasonable price (if we stock it, i havent checked yet as i have never needed one) as i just so happen to work for a company selling starters and alternators. I doubt it will be genuine valeo though.
How much have you been quoted for one? Just out of interest.

[Martin]

Only played up a couple of hours ago so it's still on the car....I'm sure danny picked one up for 77 quid or so from renault.

[bluenose]

If it's the one i think it is, it shouldnt be more than £30 + vat and postage.
I'm about 80% sure its the one i think but could do with the part numbers to be sure. It will be brand new not rebuilt but as i said it probs wont be genuine valeo and i know some people will only use genuine parts.

Renault starters are £90 from my memory.

[Illusion]

Renault starters are £90 from my memory.

Yeah phoned them the other day, thats on an exchange basis aswell.

[bluenose]

dont suppose anyones got the renault part number have they? would be useful to know which one it is. Im guessing it would be the same unit as a valver?!
We dont mess about with exchanges, all brand new and outright :D

[northy]

williams is differant to a valver from memory aswell.

[Rich]

be careful when supplying them though bluenose as valver and williams starters are different items, williams one is smaller :)

[Martin]

No it's different to the 16v starter....yeah 90 minus discount 77 quid. Not 180 quid..... :wink:

so I'm forking out for a cat2 immoboliser next week and now the starter motor is f**ked and the roof doubles as a fish tank! :x :(

How much is the Cat2 costing?
Is it not worth getting a Cat1 alarm fitted instead?
Worth it in the long run, trust me i found out the hard way.

cat2 is 100 fitted, cat1 is 200 fitted......when you are utilising your overdraft it's a no brainer!

[Illusion]

No it's different to the 16v starter....yeah 90 minus discount 77 quid. Not 180 quid..... :wink:

Yeah, I phoned a different Renault last Friday they don't know why I was quoted £180 the other week...bunch a mongs at my local Renault.

[bluenose]

would it be the same unit as fitted to the megane? It's a sod to get hold of it is, looks like a renault only job. Not many of them floating round in the aftermrket for sum reason.

[Flan]

STOP!!!

why for out for a renault starter motor!!! there are companys out there that will take your old starter and re-wire it for you. i bet there is one right near you. look in the yellow pages or summit.

i gave one away with my last williams engine :roll: or i would have sorted you out :wink:

[Flan]

hybrid Haz is who i sold it too ;)

[northy]

whats wrong with the starter then - u sure its a fault and not a loose wire ?

[summeh]

I got my new starter solenoid from these guys: http://www.woodauto.com/

They sell all the components seperately, as well as refurbed and new starters/alts.

Very highly recommend them, cheap as well.

I know which i would go for!

i have a megane starter motor you can have mate, as long as you pay the postage, came from a 60k engine fully working (no proof) but the engine was fine when it went in..
