Not a tech question but more monatary. Anyone who has replaced a starter with a new/reco one, what sort of damage to the wallet did it run at. Note wether it was reco/exchange or new. Cheers

Every time I've changed a starter motor it's been free. I haven't ever sold one out of any wreck from memory.

Needfordspeed has an AU one that's near new for sale. If you're keen send him a PM.

Brand New Ford BF starter $118- Retail at Motor Traders, not too bad.

They are a whole heep smaller than the EL starter, and WAY quieter.

Really good price. I can't believe they are getting smaller!

So the BF one is a straight change over for EF EL, no mods, no change of bolts etc?
