Subject: [Rovernet] P6B starter replacement<br>

Hello Rovernetters,<br>
<br>
It has been very quiet recently on the Rovernet... maybe this will <br>
"start" some comment.<br>
<br>
A couple of weeks ago we were planning a road trip -- about 500 miles -- <br>
in my 1970 3500S. Checked all the fluids, tyres, etc. and she seemed <br>
ready to go when two days prior to departure, an intermittent fault <br>
developed in the starter. You really don't want this sort of thing when <br>
you're travelling on holiday, so I decided to replace the starter with a <br>
spare unit. This solved the problem and the car performed faultlessly <br>
on the trip.<br>
<br>
Now that I'm home again, I thought I'd see what was amiss with the old <br>
starter. Before I took it out of the car, when it did work -- perhaps <br>
on every 3rd attempt -- it worked OK, turned the engine over with <br>
enthusiasm. But then on other tries all it gave was a loud click, and <br>
judging from the effect on headlight brightness, it did not appear that <br>
power was being supplied to the actual starter motor. I suspect the <br>
solenoid, but have not as yet done any real diagnostics.<br>
<br>
Well, the point of my message is this: Has anyone had any experience <br>
with alternative replacement starters for the P6 V-8? Particularly with <br>
the starter for the pre-1994 Range Rover? When I had my '93 RR, I once <br>
had to replace the starter, and it was easy enough to get hold of one. <br>
Unfortunately I never looked into this interchangeability issue at the <br>
time.<br>
<br>
Questions: is the cut-out for the pinion on the nose piece in the same <br>
angular position relative to the mounting bolts? Is the mounting bolt <br>
spacing the same? I recall the position of the solenoid was different, <br>
not sure if this posed a problem. The RR's engine was basically the <br>
same as that in the P6B, so I shouldn't think there would be much <br>
difference in the starters. What about MGB V-8, other cars using the <br>
same engine?<br>
<br>
Any information most gratefully received!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
-- Bill Daddis<br>

Well, since you were hearing the click - that is the solenoid 'throwing',<br>
and you report that the moror is vigerous when it did run, that suggests<br>
the motor is also 'fine'.....The bit that wasnt working were the contactors<br>
which the solenoid throws together to allow the high demand the motor<br>
requires. There have been multiple suppliers of Rover V8 starter's over the<br>
years. Each with their own contactors - which I think can all be replaced<br>
with ease when disassembling. Suspect you may want to identify the motor<br>
assy manufacturer to determine who supplies the contactors.<br>
