Evening All,

My starter doesn't always engage (sticky bendix??) and i've been advised that replacing it is the best thing to do (over taking apart and re-greasing).

However I am having difficulty finding a new one. Does this fit:

WOSP Starter

It says in the description it is for Ford Duractec engines but demontweeks returns it as a search results when I put my car in.

If it does fit, which type do I need (104, 112 or 114 tooth/6mm offset?) - My car is a 1983 316

Any advice on where else to get a starter would be much appreciated (and not BMW, they want £450 if I give them mine back!!)

Thanks,

Mark

You could just have yours refurbished, at least you'll know it's the right one.

Or just rebuild yours with a kit. Tutorials on youtube.

Thanks for the links. I will have a look into it.

Great thanks. Let me have have a look at that is involved in rebuilding it first then I'll get back to you.

How much do you want for it? What history does it have?

Thanks,

Mark
