Starter Motor

[Fieldsy]

Having a few probs getting the old girl started (no not the missus). I keep getting a click, then it'll fire up after about 5-6 turns. I know its probably the starter motor, and I've searched the forum on advice on how to change it, but where am I likely to get the starter kit from or if anyone can lay their hands on one and post it to me, it would be appreciated.

cheers

When this happens it is normally only the solenoid contacts which is integral to the starter body. You can get the contact kits from Toyota and it isn't too bad a job.

Have look on the US site - I had this problem on my 4runner and found some ofthe info there - you may get the info from a Colorado manual)
(I also picked Tony's brain - that's probably why he's like he is now - )

This details the contact replacement (At the bottom of the page). Milners also do an exchange unit for about £135.

thanks for all the input, and all the part numbers Rich, but mines a KZN185, any advice on a set for this model???

I believe that you've got the same base engine 1KZTE plus the intercooler and the starter is the same. When you go to Toyota with your frame and engine number they will be able to tell you exactly.

Got my bits from Roughtrax. Cheap as chips and did the trick. It's a bugga getting the starter out of a KZN130, but once you've done that, the repair is east peasy.

Just give them a ring, tell em what surf you've got and they'll tell you what bits you need.

You repaired you own starter?


Did you clean your finger nails after?
