Hi guys, i need a starter motor fof my mv6 auto. Everyone keeps asking the numbers of the starter, but i don,t know until it is removed and i can,t do it as have no tools. Any ideas please.

Hi Ron

Is this starter to be replaced  issue a follow on from your "Battery Change " thread ?

If so do you know for sure that it is  the starter that is at fault?

Omega starters are usually pretty robust & don't fail very often at all IMO

There did not seem to be any outcome on your "battery Change " thread . . .

The guys on here will be of the utmost help to you  . . . but we need feedback from you regarding the problem .

That thread just seemed to end with no furthur response from you 

Also it would help if you update your profile so that oofers know exactly which model & year you have .

Quite likely that someone on here would assist you if you added your location as well

Sorry mate. It had the symptoms of cold weather. So changed the battery and now its clicking, not all the time though. Also i don,t really know how to use this site.
I have an mv6 2.6 03 plate.

In your "profile" where you`ve added the car you own, add your location also

The forum is easy to use , the experts on here can sort almost anything Omega  IMO, but they need info from you to be able to diagnose properly  & then  hopefully cure the problem 

OK lets start from the top  . . .    First question  . . Manual or auto box ?

If auto  . . check that the selector is in P or N      Car will only turn over to start  in those 2 positions but don't think you get a "click" if it is in one of the other positions 

The original problem was that car had symptoms of a low  battery but had been ok up until that point ?

You then fitted a new battery & would not turn over at all .And  now  "its just clicking , not all the time though"

So sometimes it is doing nothing at all ?

Do you mean that you are getting a clicking  coming from the starter motor ?

And are absolutley sure it is the starter motor clicking ?

Reply to these questions & we can go on from there ?

Other more experienced members should now tag onto this thread & it should be able to get sorted

If the clicking is coming from the starter motor, thats likely to be the solenoid not clicking over fully.  Check battery connections, engine earth strap before condemming starter motor

Agreed . .  My opinion too

Thanx guy's. But it did not click until i hit the solenoid slightly due to access problembs and i have no ramps to lie underneath. If it is clicking is my starter ok? Or do i need a car sparky? What shall i do?

it is auto box as well.

Double check engine/starter earthing   

Also put your location in your profile ( just the town ) 

 you never know someone from here may be right local to you & may assist
