Speedyblue Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My father was running a hi-torque starter from a disco on his old Rangie. Worked well turning over 4.4L of P76 V8, although didn't fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR Tony Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have one fitted to my 3.5 engine (9.75CR). Works well - engine turns over quicker for certain, even when the battery is not fully charged. Fitting was a straight replacement. Sorry but I don't know who the supplier was - came with a load of parts I bought during refurb of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandracer Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Ended up buying one;-) 20% off at Rimmers so it didnt burn to much of a hole in my pocket, Ill put a post up when its fitted to let you know if theres a difference, 200% difference lolim hoping that it might help the flooding prob i have had at the same time, somtimes the starter does struggle to turn 5 litres over and maybe if it spins over faster it might help + using less currentFunny thing is when it was on the rollers the operater did comment that it could do with a 24v starter!!!!!!! hope the 12 v one will do ;-)Just finding time to fit it now, Well busy :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
