Just a quick note for anyone looking into starter solenoid problem.
Mine solenoid died. No clicks no nothing on key in. Knock it few times with a hammer and it will crank happly. Few starts OK and repeat beating to start. It became to frequent so I decided to fix it.
Removed the starter (it took some banging to release those bolts with 15mm hex head and 19mm nut from the back. It was a bit of a struggle to release solenoid from the starter afterwards. For testing applied 12V and the blody thing clicked in! OK, spray a lot of WD40, cleaned, reinstalled. It worked or 2 starts and again no click! Waste of time to fit everything back in...
So I removed just the solenoid from starter and start chasing replacement.
Starter is DENSO 228000-6122 / ROVER NAD101420. I found Repairkits UK selling one on eBay for 26GBP. Local HC Cargo distributor here on Malta suprised me with replacement 235320 Solenoid (Servicing: 128000-8690) for Ford (!) that fits perfectly. Available from stock for 20 Euros. Installed it back and it works like a charm.
Someone might find those part numbers usefull. If needed I can post some photos too...
