Mmm......

Ford say they need all the numbers off mine to identify itas there are 7 different types

theres not there's only 2.

My local motor factors say £97 to recon my unit and it's a 2 day turn around.

Can't get a price on a Bosch one and 2nd hand unit is out of the question.

Anyone on here know where I can buy outright a 'good quality' starter motor for a Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 1991?

Thanks,

 

ever thought of calling a breaker

 

Ask the dealer if finis 6565323 is available. That is the number for a 1990-1995 4wd starter.

 

Nope sorry, I am after either reconditioning mine or a new unit.

Thanks anyway

 

Thanks bud, I will ring up tomorrow they are closed now.

 

just get down a breakers; i bought one for cossie and it wasnt even a cossie starer motor; as long as it bolts upto the bell housing then go for it

i paid £15 for mine; save yourself some cash

 

How did you get one with Ford today? Any luck?

 

I called down to gateshead and was told obsolete and not showing on back order.....

Looks like I'll be getting mine reconditioned. I have been quoted £90 is this not a bit expensive?

 

I got mine rebuilt at cleveland auto electrics in middlesbrough for about 50 quid a few years ago

but as pete says why not a working second hand one from him or paul?
if you bought a second hand car you wouldn't change the starter because it isn't new would you!
It's not like there hard to fit either if it does go wrong again..

i had this problem a while ago, bought the new bosch one and it was wrong even though it was the one listed for my car (91 4x4 cos) by 3 different sources, tried having mine rebuilt by a major reconditioner of starters, alternators etc and they could not get the correct parts as no longer available so got a breakers one for a tenner and off we go!
happy days

 

Had the same prob with my s2

Paid £30 exchange for a recon!

Just tell em its a sierra LOL - You mention cossie and they will triple the price, yet its the same - unless im mistaken!

Some other models are better!

 

not the same mate, the xr4x4 is similar but not the same either!

 

Yep Xr4 is a bit shorter but will still work...

 

I got a brand new Diesel one for £30 and 1 year warrenty.

Phone my mate up at Manchester Auto Electricals, 0161 873 8300.

 

ask the breakers or look up Quickstart in Slough and they will supply you a recon unit cheap

 

I would suggest that you try another Ford dealer for your parts from now on....

I checked with Fords' online ordering system (Rapid) today and the finis 6565323 is showing as available. There are currently 5 available @ the Daventry warehouse @ this time.

I could order one tomorrow and have it delivered to my local dealer for Saturday morning, therefore, so could your dealer.

 

Fordpartsuk replied today as well,

How much is the trade price showing as then mate? and I'll go to another dealer.

 

Price on Rapid is £130+vat retail with a £30 surcharge (refundable), may have trouble getting a trade price for you today, but I would expect normally 10% discount from any dealer without an account.

 

Thanks mate appreciate that, I'll go to a different dealer and let you know how I get on
