new starter motor prices?

[NVMYVT]

hey guys, just chasing prices on a new starter motor round adelaide (fitted) for my series 2 vt ss ls1 auto

thankfully it is under warranty, but i would still like to know a rough price as the warranty will only cover upto a certain cost and then the excess falls onto us

If you are looking for a cheap starter motor, here's one but not fitted: VZ / VE 6.0 OR 5.7 LT STARTER MOTORS

Thanks mate I would do it myself no worries but I figure there is a warranty on the car so I shouldn't have to do a damm thing

ok thats really wierd,, i'll start from the start, went to do the shopping last night car started and ran not a problem, finished shopping came back to the car and all we could muster from the engine bay was that horrible "click" from the starter, called RAA, he finally gets there tries for a while and "nah mate it's not your battery it's definately the starter" great, so tow truck home, try starting it again, nothing but clicks,
wake up this morning and try again,,, click
take the missus to work in the cruiser (wasn't she thrilled) come home "ahhh fudge it i'll try again" low and behold it cranked over on the second attempt and fired straight away

WTF!!!! should i still be getting this looked at under warranty or what?

yeah called an auto elecy and he wont touch it coz there is no way of determining a fault on a working starter motor

On our LS1 VT Senator, our new starter motor cost us just under $500 as it comes with a pulley attached to it and it"s friggin HUGE.

My VN cost about $80 to buy. So find out how much your warranty will cover, coz then you gotta add installation on top of that too.

$750 for any vehicle electrical items inclusive
