basically, my starter motor is buggered! It will start from cold without much probs, but after a good run in the car, it obviously gets hot from the exhaust manifold, and then gives up until it's cool again!

Gonna buy a new one, but wanna protect it from the heat.

Is it better to wrap the downpipe in heat wrap, or to buy a heat shield for the starter?

I found this on the bay:

will it be any good? I'd expect so for £30.

should I buy that AND wrap the downpipe?

Lastly, what kind of heat wrap to people recommend?

Cheers in advance

I use a similar one on mine and it seems to be ok

 

Ford do one specific for their starters. Im sure it was only around a teener aswell when i got mine

 

the ford ones are £19.55 plus vat finis 1644016

 

cheers gazrs, i'll go see the fordy people!

 

no worries mate they are still available anyhow i just had a quick look on the computer.
