A friend of mine has recently had a ZVH put in his S1. Starter motor is fucked. What is the best/cheap alternative. Been doing a little research and been told a diesel one is stronger. Also a 1.8cvh/2.0dohc sierra starter is the one to go for. Any help guys on what to go for and part numbers if you have them.

Regards

diesel would be the best one to go for cos they can withstand more abuse cos it get really hot down there,

or just get ur 1 reconditioned

So what diesel model do we need the starter motor off, or will any do.

I had heard the diesel ones are stronger so may aswell change now while its out instead of reconditioning and waiting for it to go again

mk1 mondeo deisel should be the one ya need, yeh get some heat wrap but be careful which one ya get cos they act as thermal as well and it could do worse, co some idiot did it with my rs and the starter motor heat seized itself

Get one of a modern ford like a Focus, they are much much better.
