Mk7 2008 2.2 fwd starter motor

[INTRANSIT]

The motor starts first time when engine is cold but when hot it can take half a dozen tries or more ,
it sometimes turns the engine over slowly, whirs or nothing at all been like it for a long while now and going to try a new starter motor.
anyone had one from herehttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Transit ... 1346585355
other sellers or recommendations would be appreciated,cheers

Hi took the old starter off today and the connection on the end of heavy lead from the alternator was rotten and broke in half,
can I just replace this piece with a cable of same size? and which bolt on the starter does it go to , took photos beforehand but there rubbish and in my rage forgot which terminal it was on.
thanks for any help

Be wary if eBay starters, I had one that packed in with in a month, I paid 80sovs for one from a local auto factors with 2 year warrenty. N

cheers , its on now but does the big red cable from alternator go to the same 13mm post as the other big red
or the same as the small wire to the 10mm post. ?

Will the original connector give you an idea which post it goes o?

Both big cables go to the 13mm nut and the small wire to the 10mm nut N

The small one is only the switch for the solenoid. N

Cheers Ned had put them both together did not want to start her up without an ok just going to double check everything and hope

A1 so far thanks.

but what a bleeding job think I would put wires on starter before fitting if needed again or get a skinny to do it.

I only know as I've changed mine a few times, once on the side of the road on my way home N

Sounds like your mk7 is rwd they are a pain in the ass. If only the wires were slightly longer

Sounds like you need to go to Specsavers urgently

Had this MK7 two years now and like the way it drives but it seems a pain to work on and feels like I have spent more on it than
in the whole 13years I had the X reg Mk5 2.5 Di
