right whats the best starter motor for my rst? its just stage one not mega fast no massive down pipe of anything

need to no what model and age of ford it came from

i no ppl say the diesel one but what one lol

 

best one i had on my s1 was the later type diesal one that car would never fail to turn over no matter how cold or hot it was lol
app the later escort diesal ones have a small g.b in them app

 

as along as its still on mfi as if its efi then the starter will interfere with the crank senser as it works on a pulsing system

 

mines got one of a 1.6zetec of a m plate escort and spins nice and fast in all conditions

 

nah its mfi i been looking at the diesel ones for the mk4 escort think that will be ok

 

2l focus

 

I went through 2 new motorfactor ones in about 6 weeks, so i fitted an old one out of my shed off my 1.6 carb engine and it has been perfect, never a bother starting hot or cold, sometimes i'll have to crank it for 45ish seconds if i flood it on coldstart, and it never sticks or dies.

 

is a 2l focus starter direct replacement for a standard car?

 

yes there all pretty much the same just look in the likes of burtons and you'll see that

 

Yeah mine has an old XR3i starter on it at the moment and got no issues at all

 

thanks peeps

 

Without a shadow of a doubt get a diesel one from a 1.8 diesel van thats the only thing that will turn over all the zvh engines ive built.

 

I also now have a zvh and im thining about a better starter motor.

You say use one from a 1.8 diesel van? what year would this be from? and would it be a direct replacement?

 

"I have a Zetec one on my CVH and it's superb"

What year and model of car? does it turn over really easy?

 

LOL, the old diesel ones are shit compared to a modern zetec one. Spin it quickly and sound more modern too.

 

hey rick got the starter with that box the other night so will give that a go when my new box goes in

 

well i dunno what to do now either 1800 zetec started of 1800 diesel

 

aint the zetec one shorter too
