Halo-Inc Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I've been having a problem recently when starting my supe, all I got was a click from the starter but no turnover, it was becoming more and more difficult to get it to start. After searching on here and on the US forums, I decided to change the starter motor contacts. So did it last night. I'm not sure wether it's just the UK auto, but removing the starter is a complete nightmare! The upper bolt is almost impossible to get to, but after several hours finally got it all back together. She now starts perfectly every time, either using the key or Clifford Intellistart. Total cost £20 approx. If your having the same sort of trouble its well worth doing as the alternative is a new starter motor (approx £200 from Toyota). The parts numbers you need to order are: Starter Kit #28226-74070 and Starter Kit #28226-22050 hope someone finds this info useful. She's alive, alive I tell you!!

Halo-Inc Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Unfortunately not but, once you have the parts form Toyoyta you'll figure it out very easily. The hardest part was actually getting the starter motor out. Perhaps its just the 95 UK Auto thats so difficult. I do have the old contacts though, so will post some pics so people know what they're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 So could you give a quick over view of removing the starter motor and replacing the contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo-Inc Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I'll try and do a step by step write up a soon as possible, unfortunately I didn't get any pics but its fairly simple job to do although I found removing and refitting the starter motor a pain in the ass, as the one of the two bolts is a nightmare to get to.

MONKEYmark Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 if you take your time with it and learn something new it has to be good and saving money too. when i put my astra one back in i lost one of the studs that go into block so i put it back with 1 and it held up and starts first time everytime.
