    V8 Starter motor - any experience with this one?

    I have a sticking solenoid after a clean and refurb today, so when I saw this one for $125 I was tempted.

    Starter Motor FOR Land Rover Discovery V8 3 5L 3 9L 4 0L Petrol | eBay

    Maybe someone has some experience with it to share - good, bad or otherwise?

    TIA

    Steve

    I pulled apart a starter motor that looked just like that, it was for a 3.5lt V8 RRC. The reason I disassembled it was to try make one good starter motor from 2. I had a Denso unit and a cheap one.

    I did end up swapping the components Ii needed but they are not identical. The Denso one was a better quality construction with slightly thicker components. The mechanism for the solenoid engagement was also different. The winding looked very much the same and i'm sure I used the armature and the brush set from the cheap one and put them in the Denso housing.

    Long story short. It didn't seem like a poor unit, but the Denso one was obviously better.

    Also if you don't want to get ripped off at Bursons, Repco, Autobarn or other. Try Roverloard Off Road Spares. Great service at a great price.
