rob233 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I understand it is a bit of a pig of a job,check battery/connections first,check voltage supply at starter motor,should be approx 12volts for a 12 volt system,24v for a 24 volt system approx, you could try tapping the starter just in case it is stuck, try the easy things first. regards rob.

griff66 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 as said try everything first ie if starter turning slowly its probably batts /connections etc not starter its-self . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana and Jackie Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) We did it in 4 hours! remove the cables noting which heavy cable goes where. Remove the bottom and side bolts first, it helps to have small hands and the engine deck off. short spanners open ended and ring the other are essential. The bottom bolt is the worst and may have to be done by feel bit by bit. When you have them out tie a rope around the starter and remove the top bolt, we did not need to remove anything apart from the exhaust pipes (not the manifolds). pull the starter up using the rope. Lower the new starter by rope when going to replace it. Before you attempt to fit the new starter oil the bolts so that they screw in easily - try them in the threaded holes. Fit the top bolt first then the others and apart from replacing the cables that's it! Oh and dont oil or grease the starter pinion or it will tend to stick later. On second thoughts dont think we could get the ring spanners on the bolts as there was no clearance and we took the tachometer cable off as well. its also covered under : http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?2323-Ferret-starter-motor and http://www.ferretforums.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=24 D&J Starter replacement, anyone know if this is a tough or an easy job....all relative of course...
