Andrew Willcox Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Just discovered the plastic cap on my starter solenoid is cracked with copper terminals showing. From past threads it looks like the solenoid can be replaced, any recommendations on where to source one from? Alternatively, any recommendations on auto electricians in the Worcester area that could service? Also interested if anyone has a spare solenoid or starter on the shelf I could buy. Thanks!

Fortunately only a few miles from me. It may have been you Nick who recommended them to me in the first place. So here's the latest. I phoned Kev to buy a slimline hi torque starter for my BDR. The standard one that has the big lump on the side doesn't work in my BDR as the side lump (sorry for the non techy description) ends up hanging down too low. So he contacted Powerlite and worked out the appropriate one with them. Then he phoned me back and told me the model, but that Powerlite were out of stock and would be for some time. Fair enough I thought. But he had gone on ebay and found an ebay supplier for me to buy it from - which I then did. So I now have the perfect starter courtesy of Kev and he got nothing from it all, other than my recommendations on threads like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted February 15 Area Representative Share Posted February 15 Not near Worcester but "Unit Exchange" could probably help. https://www.unitexchange.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardm57 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Be very careful of exchange Magneton starters i had one from the people who took over from the supplier to Caterham Magnetron starter. It had the wrong number of teeth on the pinion But also turned the Wrong way, as these where made for front wheel drive VAG cars. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
