Another zetec starter issue

[Matth93]

I’ve been having problems with my starter when COLD just took the starter out and found the main body loose

One of the screws that holds it together is missing (in the bell housing somewhere unless it’s been spat out already) I’ve spent ages looking for it and can’t see it so I guess it’s been spat out of the clutch arm hole. And the other is loose so hopefully I can rob another starter of a screw and do the other up and all will be ok

[Matth93]

Robbed another starter for the screw refitted and all seems well. Will it start in the morning? Who knows

Sounds like ppp to me matt you really must try harder to look after your toys

[Matth93]

I think you’ll find that things drop off your car when you actually use it bruv!

These starter are a pain, too cold, too hot

Had that happen to one of mine - how come it NEVER happens on the donor car?
