TLC Starter Motor, contacts fix.
|
G'Day Fella's,
They say that "Necessity, is the Mother of Invention".
Well it wasn't quite an Invention but I did have a need for a bit of Necessity recently on my Toyota Land Cruiser (TLC).
Here is a link to a thread I posted, on the Enough Gun forum.

Hope it helps
D'oh!

Well done, Homer. Good work. Not many vehicles today can be fixed by the owners.

For the sake of say of a $10 part, you get ripped off $200-300 for a bloody new starter motor!
Also happens in the electrical appliance game; the companies make the damn things that are designed to last 1 year & 1 day; break down & then it becomes a 'superseded' model...no parts available!
Good fix Homer by the way - loved the work!

The same thing happened to my wife's Isuzu Rodeo after 200,000 miles.
The contacts were $10, a new starter was over $200. Worked fine after that.
A five minute job, after you remove the starter.....

There's nothing quite like the 'old school' way.

G'Day Fella's,
Love that image Rothhammer1.
And that would have made the repair, a lot easier for me.
Merry Christmas
Homer
