Any one know of a place/website that sells them, as i am gettin a bit tired of stopping my engine then having to wait for the starter to cool down before the engine will start again??!!

 

as far as i know ford still selll them, £20.

I bought one a few years back for this price so they may have gone up since then

do you mean the little heat sheild with the 2 clips that clip to the metal oil return pipe?? and the actual sheild is made of some kind of hard fibre with bako foil on it

I got a couple a few years ago, the material tends to disintergate around the clips, then fall off

 

I have never suffered this problem since I bought a new style Ford starter which are smaller than the origionals so move away from the exhaust slightly...

 

You mean this

 

Ah., thats what they are.

 

lol the fuck is that, mine dont got one of them

 

ballin: then according to ford you should soon be start looking for a replacement starter
My starter went 1 year after my heat shield was destroyed

 

ive got the heat sheild on the oil pipe,the strater motor shield and exhaust wrap and bought a brand new bosch starter motor,still got the hot starting probs

 

I've got mine wrapped in Thermotech heat proof Wrap and lock wire to keep it in place. Been on there a couple of years and is subject to an arse-load of heat and is so far.
Last starter motor lasted about 8 or 9 years with same treatment, but the original lasted about 5 minutes without any wrapping or the shield

So deffo fit something soon.
Cheers.

 

Thanks peeps, will sort something soon

 

hmm... I have had som serious hot starting problems... maybe I should get one to... for the three years I have had the car, I have had one on..
