| Post subject: | Starter problem |
Hey there! Does anyone else think that this is a little suspect? I took my vehicle down to Kmart Auto this morning to have the tires rotated. When I picked the vehicle up the mechanic informed me that he had had trouble starting my vehicle due to the solenoid on the starter motor. After I had payed for the work I went to leave, however I was unable to start my car. I have never had a trouble starting the vehicle up until this point. The vehicle is a SV420. With a tap of the solenoid, I was able to get it going. Do you think it is just bad luck or does anyone else think this is a little suspect? I am now looking at around $250 to have the starter out and the brushes replaced. Thanks for your time, rwicks10 |

If your mechanically minded the bushes cost around $11 for my brothers hilux starter, we pulled it apart and replaced them, piece of cake. |

just open it up, use some wd40 and a light sanding. grease the arm from the solenoid into the starter motor and you should be fine. or as said above, there's nothing complicated inside. |

Solenoid of starter has no bushes.... OP just do as Rossco suggested. |

If he went to Kmart auto to get his tyres rotated, I am not sure if he would have the mechanical ability to pull down a starter motor, regardless of how easy we know it is. (no offence) Starters can start playing up in an instant, I doubt they buggered around with anythning on you. |

Thanks for the assistance their! I ended up getting the starter rebuilt by a local auto electrician. Cost a little, however the rebuild was significantly was cheaper than purchasing a new starter. All is good now, and it is back on the road. Cheers, rwicks10. |
