Clio 1.9D

Post by Jimmy » Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:33 pm

Anyone familiar with these?

I need to source a replacement starter motor asap for my uncle's 1998 Clio 1.9D but GSF / Eurocarparts etc have said there are two available (a 1.7kW and a 1.4kW) but offer no guidance on which I need.
Any suggestions?

Just an idea...but if you ring a stealership, they may be able to help you out (even if it means you have to pretend that you are gonna buy one of theirs! ;) )

Thanks Esta. I tried that, but got some parts nugget who simply typed in the Reg and said that'll be £137. I asked for the power rating and he said he couldn't see that on the computer readout.

We got one from a scrappy in the end for £40.
