My 306DT has been struggling to start since I bought it, today went to EXE batteries in Plymouth to test the battery before buying a new one. Battery seems fine (shopkeeper used a battery tester) and alternator puts out 14.5V so all good. Finally the car struggled to start even after running so not the glow plugs (runs fine once it's going). Therefore must be the starter motor.
I've found this one on ebay which looks good. A friend cautioned me to get a replacement with the same number of teeth on the pinion so I contacted the seller to ask if the number of teeth should be specified, seller replied:
Which makes sense to me since the motor manufacturer can just offset the motor on the mounting plate to account for the slightly different pinion diameter.
Can anyone confirm or deny?

Quote:hi Jack ,this heavy duty upgrade starter replaces all the smaller versions with 9,10 & 11 teeth so no problem regardless of what you take off.
thanks Frank
