Rich8v Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hang on, I thought supras weren't allowed to break down. Its a common problem and I had it happen to me. Most likley the contacts are worn out on the starter. Toyota sell a referb kit for about £15 and there is a guide on here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Happened to me, I refused to call a recovery truck, ended up changing the starter by the roadside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Happened to me, I refused to call a recovery truck, ended up changing the starter by the roadside! That's what I would do (if I was auto), give it a shove to a quieter street and go to town. I'd even take a bit of cardboard and write on it "Will refurbish starter motor contacts for food" and then sit it by my side while I went to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Not sure, personally I would have went with a set of brushes. Very straightforward and easy to do. Not to mention very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Should always check the forum first before spending money bud.

Chris Wilson Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think Scott means solenoid contacts. I keep them in stock. They often wear and stop the starter operating. Instead they just click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think Scott means solenoid contacts. I keep them in stock. They often wear and stop the starter operating. Instead they just click. Yeah those.

Instead they just click. how much are they i do normally check 1st but need it sorted quick, when i tried starting it would just click and if i kept trying you would get a slight smell when near the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
