My starter motor's gone again.

(1/1)

I had a new starter fitted in December last year and now i need another one :evil: Its on a transit diesel engine. Do starter motors generally burnout quickly on the series? I have used it offroad a few times.

Sometimes the bellhousing can get filled with mud . Then the new starter sucks it in every time the mud gets wet again . I have seen this happen with a 2 1/4 and a bloke who went through several new starters before finding the cause .

I find that it needs cleaning out about every 6 months.  A wading plug helps though

I've had the same on my tranny engined series 3, took it back as it was still under warranty.

 I'm going to clean the mud off the chassis then take it back aswell. Hopefully they will replace it undr warranty.
