Exactly where i went mate

Old one was proper dead, rear bearing had collapsed and taken out the rotor so it was a paperweight. Got a refurbed one for £100 So now i am back up and running and with all this rain just in time lol.

Bl**dy hell they must have seen you coming (not unless it was 100amp)
I payed £65 for a 65 amp about 4 weeks ago,

Geoff - what was that place you suggested once? Start-a-nator or someone?

Brian S · Jan 8, 2014

Startornator in Tiptree. Richard is semi retired but still fixes them for an average of around £50

You can get repair kits and do the job yourself if you have the time/enthusiasm/knowhow but you don't get a warranty

beerdude · Jan 8, 2014

Oops just noticed the bit about the rotor, you don't get that in the kit

Tuskenraider · Jan 9, 2014

Yer its a 100amp one

Co-Pang-Yang · Jan 9, 2014

Need to get me a couple of them.

Brian S · Jan 9, 2014

I am sure I brought a new 100amp for about £120

Tuskenraider · Jan 9, 2014

Island 4x4 have the Denso ones for around £140 but a decent refurbed one will be just as good. Better than the chinese £50 ones on ebay

I'm back Sunday so I'd imagine I'll start on my next day off!

Co-Pang-Yang · Jan 10, 2014

Righto, I'm planning on gettin Mike to help me do the conversion so we can get it done in a day along with a couple of other bits.
Would your ramp be available if we decided it will make the job easier?

Drizz · Jan 11, 2014

All depends when

wickford90 · Jan 14, 2014

Decided its time to move, so I am looking for a barn/workshop around Basildon Wickford Billericay area. not after anything posh just somewhere to store and work on the motors anyone fancy sharing a place or know of any? Also got 3 lots of heavy duty pallet racking that makes excellent huge workbench/storage. I use one and Matt has one in his workshop.Dan/Mikey/Chris any good to you?

Drizz · Jan 14, 2014

Thanks Geoff but I'm looking to move out of my workshop or at least sublet it as I'm loosing enthusiasm for the workshop. Wanna get mine done as far as possible then take it home and finish it there.
