Ah ok. I will try giving the screws a slight tighten then. Cheers
-
Ok will do.. Although first inspection it seems as though the seal is almost rotting, it's not a smooth edge. Almost pitted a bit. Tightening might finish it off...
-
Cheers Roger, yes that's the one. I've had a diesel leak for a while and had trouble finding it. Whilst removing all the floor boards to get too the starter I had a mooch about. Seems the seal between the Base of the pump and the domed top is perishing. It looks to be weeping.
-
The bracket where it was fixed was not twisting...after the bracket is a thin what looks like a seal about 3-4m thick, then the main starter casing. It was twisting from that seal, just the main body, not at the bracket. Taking starter to reading today to be reconditioned
-
Everything seems to be turning fine, no oil loss... Why was the starter motor making a like a grinding, clunking noise? When I tried to start it a second time I was down in the engine bay and when I turned the key, it was slightly twisting a bit too...
-
Just out of interes... On the opposite side of engine to the starter, injection pump etc, below the air fifilter. Is a small domed case, with a fuel line going in and out, with a rod ontop attached to a spring, what is this?
-
Easily as in, had too use both hands and it spam smoothly.
-
Phew....just remembered. My boards are made up of five panels and one is right above the engine. Been in and yes, engine turns freely. Turned it quite easily full cycle.
-
Ok thanks, will have a go tomorrow. Thanks guys, really appreciate it Clock wise or doesn't matter
-
Ok, so where do I put a spanner, I haven't a clue. I'm assuming it is one of the wheels with the belt in at the end. Oil is fine, checked the dip stick as a matter of routine whilst I was investigating the starter. I want to check Mike, just not sure how...
-
Be surprised if it was seized, oil is absolutely brand new, engine ran sweet only three days ago... Could it be something else
-
The existing one looks more like the other one on ebay... Hmmmm make sure engine is turning, now it doesn't sound like a job for me :/! Why would the engine not be turning And what if it isn't, not quite a simple swap them?
-
Meaning,Bee?
-
Will get and order the listed eBay item tomorrow then.
-
Ok that seals it then, cheers RLWP, I will get a new one... Is it just a case of remove old and put new one on, no timing etc
-
Would that make a difference to the recon? RLWP is it worth replacing the wire that got frazzled and giving it a whack? Or is the clunk and the wire shorting a ding the starter has passed being hit hard? I'd like to understand what has happened

Cheers

Tried starting engine today....starter made a horrible grind noise, clunking, no start. Then a real bad burning smell. Investigated and the 2 inch cable from Solenoid to starter is frazzled!!! Been told the starter is buggered. Can someone point me in the direction of a new one, can I goto a auto factors or specialist? Cheers
-
Ok..I think I've found somebody who will remove it for me, and a specialist in Swindon. And then same guy to refit and time. My problem is Christmas, new licence in January equals no cash. No pump means no power....so looks like I got to wing it until March when hopefully the sun will provide the solar and I won't be as reliant on the engine. Bugger
-
Looks like it's leaking all the time now and not just when the stop cable is pulled!
