A while back I was experiencing starting issues, which I had thought was the starter or solenoid. Failed completely yesterday and turned out to be a loose wire terminal on the main +ve wire to the starter motor.
My question is regarding the motor itself. As I have a holden 186 I would have expected the motor to be a 186 starter, but by the looks of it, it is totally different, made in England and looks like a land rover starter (has no solenoid on the starter like the holden ones do). Someone once told me quite adamantly that a holden conversion would have a holden starter motor and obviously this isn't the case. Does this mean I have most likely got a land rover flywheel and clutch in there as well? Seems weird to me.
