V8 Starter motor recommendations / advice

[MikeR]

My 1972 3500S needs its starter motor rebuilt / replaced. Just wondered if anyone has any recommendations as to whom to go to?

How involved is it at home with a rebuild kit?

A friend with a Rangie reckons some P6 V8 starters are interchangable with those of V8 Land Rovers / Range Rovers - anyone know for sure?

Mine is a Lucas 25683B / 3M100.

Any thoughts / advice welcome.
Thanks
Mike

Hi mike,
Just read your article in CM, I live in Yate, and not long ago had my Latham, "dolly sprint based kit car, sold now" starter fully rebuilt by local co, Halls auto electrical for £70 with 1yr guarantee. You could easily buy a recon/new one for not much more. SEE EBAY 120084092454
I have my good spare,but might have another good one in my shed/boxes of bits!!!,I will have a dig.
Have you checked the engine can be turned over without the starter on ??? it is easily possible to strip and clean the motor yourself then test off the car
call or E anytime if you are stuck for anything.
Cheers
DAVE

P6 and Range Rover starters are different, the solenoid is mounted in a different position. On a P6 it hangs down underneath, Range (Land) Rover it sticks out of the side.
