ok in short, my uncle has a 2L zetec westie that he bought pre built.

its never been a good starter, so we all diagnosed lazy started motor, when we took it into out local auto electrical place we were told its off a 1600 zetec, so we get a 2L starter but its not engaging yet its turning over? any ideas? why and why it had a 1600 starter on it for a start?

type 9 box btw

may be a faulty item it has been known

Not engaging because you need a starter from a 2L DOHC out of a sierra. Also on 1.8 CVH.

(Assume its a type 9 box)

If it's got mappable ignition, worth checking what the cranking advance is. Incorrect advance will lead to problems and failure to turn over.

Been there....done that....

ive same set up and im using a old type starter - brand new though, a lucas FRS122
