Is there a straight bolt on replacement starter that will spin the motor faster.
Don't want to mess about with different threads or hard to get at bolts. Would like to buy new or reconditioned. Name / Make / Specific part number or model of car and year of manufacture would be good. Many thanks Paul. |

You can get 'High Torque' starter motors on ebay ... the downside is that they are not cheap. The lowest price I've seen was about £160.
If and when my standard starter gives up then I'll consider one of these pricey units... not gonna splash 200 quid to replace a perfectly serviceable motor though. |

Thank you very much. This is just what I was looking for. £200.00 is a bit pricey but it does look like a worth while modification. Don't think it will be long before this is on my car !

Higher torque doesn't necessarily mean it will spin the engine any faster, and may require more amps than your battery can supply

The 940 one really kicks my engine over considerably faster than the old one and I paid £15 for it.

Twice as powerful Runs faster Will start the engine regardless of temperature or compression Draw half the current of original starter Save weight Improve performance Maximise chances of starting engine first time. If the above is correct I want one ! Regards Paul |

It's the same starter for the 4 cylinder cars from 240 to 940. Rather than pay £200 for one of the eBay one, which does appear to be the geared type, why not fit a good used Volvo one and see how I goes. You may not get it for £15 the same as Mitch but £30 should be close.
A good original type starter in good working order with a good battery and ignition up to scratch should give you no starting problems anyway, but if you are going to replace it, this does have to count as an upgrade, and a cheap one at that. |

The powerlite starter RAC444 is available as a direct fit replacement for £145.00 from AES. Lot cheaper than £200.00
