Cheap starter motors on eBay any good ?

[mudski]

Maybe I was I was just lucky, I received better treatment then the above. The purpose of the post was to explain how I did the job. You can buy from anyone. My initial problem was to find the right S/M & repair part. I didn't know I could buy to internal part.
& David put me in the know.
EBay, Aliexpress, Banggood are always doggy platforms at the best times. I try and pay by PAYPAL incase there's a product problem for a refund.

Fair enough. 90% of Ebay parts like starters and alternators are cheap rubbish sold by the same people who just want to flood the market with rubbish. Expect to get what you pay for...
