Hi, the starter motor in my 1969 4/4 1600 has finally called it a day. The car is going into the local garage, and I'd like your advice on places where I can source a replacement. I'm in Kent, but the internet is far-reaching. Paul

There are two bolt and three bolt ones (plus a plethora of hi gear/hi torque ones).
FInd out which type you have and then a quick google will bring a number of options. I think I got my last one from eBay.

Suggest a high torque (geared) replacement.

Think the two bolt is LRS101

My advice is not ro rely on the part number but to take the starter motor off and to check what pinion is on it.
There are two types of ring gear fitted to Crossflow engines - 135 tooth and 110 tooth.
The different starter motors have different pinions and are not interchangeable.
Not sure what year was the change over year though!

I think there is a pre engaged 132 as well as 135 tooth starter ring gear to add to confusion.

To avoid confusion, a refurb might be easier! https://www.bexleystarters.co.uk/
