Hi,
Just a quick question...
the power connector on the back of my ser 3 petrol starter motor is very loos and hence not making a good enough connection.

Can I get to it and tighten it or do i need to order another one?

Thanks Andy
 
The parts/ workshop manual has an exploded diagram. The important connection is the lead from the battery to the back of the alternator but it's a simple plug fit. It can become loose. It's not a very solid fit, can appear to loose.
 
just got it off and the whole thread has been stripped :(
I'm currently fighting with the 2 screws to see if i can change the connector but im starting to think about a replacement...

Has anyone tried those £107 ones off of ebay ???

And thinking further forward can a hand crank drive dog be fitted to a military 5 bearing engine (mine just has a nut)

thanks Andy
