Starter motor wanted

[Darling]

Oh dear,
should have expected something to go wrong with a bank holiday approaching...
Does anyone have a starter motor for a 1978 model for sale?

Thanks,

Peter

Guessing 845 as very few 1108 built 78
Make sure before buying wrong one

845cc indeed.

Got a new 6 volt one
Hitting with a hammer may keep you mobile temporary

I had my starter rebuilt by a local car electrics company for £30.00. (Nacton Auto Electrics in Ipswich). Works perfectly. Had a collapsed bearing, a burnt commutator and worn out bushes. Worth a try if you can find someone local who does electric motor repairs.
