Title: Starter for V6
Post by: polilara on 03 February 2026, 17:48:10

My starter is perhaps becoming old. It is original. As it has auto gearbox it is important part. Any recomnendations? Is Walker close to original quality, who made original ones?

I've had to have two repaired over the years (on different Omegas) - the fault on both being water ingress in the solenoid on the top. Water drips down from the scuttle on the RH of the vehicle and drops onto the solenoid which don't appear to be sealed very well. I presume its similar with LHD Omegas.
Both cost me around £50 at a reputable auto electrical company that did repairs to starter, motors, alternators etc. - a lot cheaper that buying a reconditioned or new unit outright.
