Default Eurocar parts starter motor ?

Hi. I'm after a starter for a 2wd cos and have found one from the place above nearly half the price of everywhere else I've looked. Has anyone had one from them or experienced buying from them. ?
Thanks

deal with euros all day long, cheap ones are cheap,

get New Lucas items or Bosch new if available.

1.8d/TD are a direct replacement from escort,fiesta,focus,connect and mondeo 1.8d and TD

The one I looked at is called an rtx starter and does look the same but guess can't tell until I look at it. Think I best ring round for better make just encase but their are light weight high torque ones for 150 quid so if they are nearer that price I may as well go for that. I see they list the same starter for orions and escorts but you look up prices for those cars and they are 30 quid . So I guess something is different.

Hi guys

We normally stock 2 types of starters, both carry the same 1 year warranty so in the unlikely event something happens, you have our support.

For premium quality, we'll normally stock a Lucas/Bosch reconditioned unit - These are professionally rebuilt and tested to ensure the best value for money possible - you will also (normally) get a surcharge refund for returning your original unit (as this gets sent back for them to recondition and re-sell.

The RTX brand, is a excellent value option, and unlike the above, they are brand new out of the box and don't require the return of your old unit (great if yours is physically damaged and not valid for surcharge return)


If you have any issues with either of these brands (or any other products) you can always drop us a PM with your order number and we'd look into it as a priority

Hope that helps!

Patrick

As said rtx units are a load of shit, we stopped supplying these as they are more hassle than they're worth.
