Need my starter replacing

[Hillclimber]

I have a 2002 MH10 V6 auto with a stuck/seized starter solenoid. New Acre (my local specialist) tell me they wouldn't be able to do anything for a couple of months. Can anyone recommend another specialist who could change the starter motor for me, ideally in the Midlands area.

Thanks for that feedback. Very useful. I was taking the view that it was beyond my above average mechanicing skills, and the lack of an English workshop manual as a guide. Having checked a video, I'm sure I can do it.

If you need part no. For starter motor just ask

you could just change the solenoid contacts rather than the whole unit

Hi last year I got my Alfie's starter motor repair for 95GBP in Stoke on Trent. That's including repair and taking it from the car and putting back together. Bit far from Midlands but you could find a shop that does only those repairs in Midlands.

My brain sometimes goes into full negative mode when looking at something new. Probably something to do with my advancing years! Thanks for your positive thoughts. As for replacement starter, am I good to just go by engine size and vehicle age, or are there differences I need to know. Its a 3.0l V6 from 2002.
