Hi torque starter

[John McCormack]

My original starter was playing up, not engaging the flywheel or requiring a hit with something hard to make it work. I believe cleaning the solenoid contacts would have fixed it but I am never confident with old Lucas electrical components.

I bought and installed a hi torque starter yesterday. A fiddly job but not difficult. Th starter is a lot noisier than the original but at least it starts the car each and every time.

That is the only draw back with those Hi Torque starters they do tend to sound very harsh on engagement.
