Hi,
Yesterday, I stopped my MGF outside my office to attend a call, and it wouldn't start again. TRied everything, but, it just wouldn't start.
I called in RAC and they came and said that the cables to the starter motor were quite corroded or something, and they made it functional, to reach office.
In the evening same problem as the car wouldn't start again. Called in RAC again, and this time they again looked at all the connections, and got it going, but, they have issued an advisory note to take it to the garage ASAP, as the starter motor needs to be changed.
Now, I asked the nearest garage (Halfords Autocentre) and they have quoted £153 for the job. I wanted to know if anybody knows a reliable garage around Gloucester, or someone who could fit the part, if I procured the part. I am getting much cheaper parts of I approach guys like MGRoverSpares, who are ready to ship the starter motor for £35 + 2 months warranty.
Any suggestions would be great...
I would clean the cable ends at the battery and starter first.
You could save some money.
