Starter Motor Solenoid

[Davedstone]

In the end I engaged the services of an auto-electrician to find out why too much current was being drawn from/through the tachometer. To cut a long story short, the alternator solenoid is faulty, so I am after another solenoid.
Can anyone help with a supplier as the usual ones do not have any.
The alternator of course is Lucas. Part number: 25673 A plus another number stamped on the body. M418G
The contacts have an extra one which is the cold start terminal which goes to the positive side of the ignition coil.
Thanking in advance for any help.

The alternator of course is Lucas. Part number: 25673 A .I take it you really mean starter when you refer to the alternator.

That's a very fair price as I have been quoted £175 exchange, which is one reason I thought I would look for the starter solenoid which is easy enough to remove. After some cross referencing, I have managed to purchase one (£25 inc postage) from a dealer from ebay which hopefully will arrive this Saturday. Keep you posted.
