evening all,

ive been quoted £180 for a recon starter for a 96 jeep grand cherokee, does this seem ok? or is there a cheaper place to get this stuff?

That seams a bit steep to me, try halfords

There is a specialist jeep breakers, think they might have an ebay shop?
Jeep parts are such a rip off, nobody seems to do spurious bits for them. Was quoted £800 trade for an exhaust for mine, needles to say it got welded.

last time i needed a starter motor sorting, it was £30 at a place in leeds to rewind it, or somesuch. I remember it vividly years later, because the chap who had push started my van for 3 months was screwing that it was such a cheap fix!
