Please help to find starter motor for Rwd MK7 transit

[tompa22]

Dear Forum members,

My starter motor started to show me signs that it is about to change. I recently purchased a Rwd transit made in 2012. Reg is RV62XMY and can only find a starter motor for the price of £295 at euro car parts (£95 surcharge included in this price for the old part in exchange ). I find this a bit too much and wanted to double check with fellow transit owners if there is any cheaper solution out there. I ordered one starter motor for MK7 transits but the seller (reputable firm) wrote me after purchasing that it won't fit and I need a special starter motor BK3T-11000-FA - please help me with this because I can't afford £295 atm.

Kind regards, Tom

Does your van have stop start? That part number is a mk8 part number.
