The Moss/TRShop/TRGB all work OK Having said that they will now have a world wide failure of them. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monty Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Anybody know if there is a quality difference between the 2 options listed by Rimmers part no: 134174 & part no: 134174Lucas? The latter twice as expensive but better quality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 This would be my choice https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/solenoid-round-bca4501.html?assoc=137207 push button on the rear for manual starting. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monty Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Has anybody any ideas or suggestions on how on earth do you replace one of these? Mine is attached with 2 screws with the top one accessible but the lower one appears impossible to get a screwdriver on it due to the heating hoses & steering column in the way!

Right angled screwdriver!. Yes you can get them, but I have a 1/4 drive socket set that has an adapter to take hexagon screwdriver bits which comes in very handy for jobs like this.

Grahamgl Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Or for a known provenance https://www.interparts.uk/solenoid-starter-with-manual-button-replaces-lucas-76835---12v-0-335-05-9095-p.asp But something of a price difference. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
