Hey guys,

I think my starter motor is died.

Symtoms:

- hard to crank when starting. (thought it was battery, changed battery still the same issue)
- now it doesnt turn over (not even a click), all i hear is the fuel pump.

Starter motor?

what is the 'copper' think that links the 2 cylinders?? cos mine is broke.......

Thanks all

im pretty sure thats its what joins the relay to the motor. Try make another one out of another conductive metal and see if it fixes it.
to get the starter out, just take the shield of, and there is one bolt on either side.

been trying to get the top bolt off.....given up for now as my neck is shagged from all the tensing....lol

ill try to get them joined again....not alot of room to work with under the bonnet....

where do you find the coolent Temp sensor?

Once the plunger has engaged the ring gear, that copper thing then gets the power to spin the motor part which is the bottom "cylinder"

So I would just get a new one anyway.

ok some1 suggested to smack the starter motor and after doing so, its almost wants to crank....

so does this suggest its a starter motor issue?

freakin good friday..nothing is gonna be open........@!#!#@!

That is correct, starter is dead. Check what local wreckers are open and go from there, some *may* be open on public holidays...*may*

ok which 2 bolts am i suppose to undo to get the starter motor off??.. i got a feeling that im undoing the wrong ones.....

Theres only 2 that hold the starter motor on mate.
Make sure you disconnect the battery first as the + to the starter motor is UNFUSED and cause alot of damage if shorted out.

got it out finally.... was undoing the wrong ****in bolt!....red paint...:S

ok i read on the forum somewhere about testing the starter motor, ill search again but if anyone knows straight up, greatly appreciated.

thanks TUFFTR so far!\

Well if that copper wire is broken between solenoid and motor, there is problem numbero uno

still intact... was wrong.....:P
