Hello, first post here.
I have looked through the threads to see if this is covered, but can`t see what I need.
I have an escort 1999 endura 1.8D and the starter has always been slow to turn. I put this down to battery so now its got a new Meura heavy duty battery, well up to spec. but have still had to get the garage out to sart me some days ! They tested the battery, alternator and charging, all good........They suspect starter, maybe a field coil they say.
Looked on Ebay for another and the ones that correspond with the ID numbers and appearance of my starter are all for the Turbo........My question is, is the starter for the 1.8TD a different spec to the 1.8NA? What I am thinking is, if the TD has a lower compression then the starter will not need to be as powerful......But looks like mine may have been fitted with a Turbo starter instead of the right one..I have checked all connections and all good, inc earth straps.
Comments welcome !
