Anyone know where (ideally in the U.K.) I can buy a new starter motor for my 1978 260Z? Mike Feeney and Pete Mac don't have one at present.
Or failing that has anyone got a good used starter motor they want to sell?
Mine has started letting me down occasionally - just clicking when I turn the key. Mostly it works but sometimes it doesn't (usually when I am in the middle of Tesco's car park on a busy Saturday afternoon).
 
Have you tried local auto sparkies? They can be reconditioned so that may be an option. Drive in, they remove, recondition, install and drive away...or they may be able to match one up as well?
 
I wouldn't buy a new one, just get it reconditioned? I did that with mine, it came back immaculate and works absolutely perfectly
 
Mine does that every couple of years, its usually the solenoid gummed up just take it off and give it a good clean!
I can take mine off, clean it and reinstall in an hour a very easy job.
Once clean it should be ok for a year.:thumbs:
