been having battery issues with my vx but today i realised its the starter motor
so my question is, has anyone bought a start motor recently... if so how much?
im gonna ring around but i want a rough idea before i buy one
im from sydney btw![]()
holden said $276
got a price from a local auto electrician that our company deals with and they said $176 reco.
what do you's think?
Yeah think I was quoted around the $300 mark from Holden.
want to swap mine out too.
I'm pretty sure it looks new (like within the last couple years), but has issues starting so think I'll change it out at some stage in the hope that it fixes it.
hey man 200 new! 125 second hand
what my issue is.. sometimes the car wont start after long drives or whilst music is playing in my car without the car running or even if the headlights are on for like 20 mins.
my car wouldnt start this morning after i just got to work after an hour long drive, tried starting it to go to the servo and it didnt start.... 4 hours later(after it cooled down) it started 1st go. does yours do that?? if so, new started motor it is
Mine sometimes has trouble starting after a long drive etc/ when it's warm.
Started off as a really slow chugging turn over, and has turned into not actually firing and just turning over slowly and then not going.
Quite often have to throttle on and off to kick start it.
But yeah similar symptoms.
yeah sounds like similar syptoms
im gonna buy the genuine starter motor... better off paying $100 more for a brand new part right
Im generally more comfortable with genuine stuff.
but thats just me :P Unless it's been rebuilt tougher than stock
smart guy !
