steve_d Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 MY starter has had a melt down. Marked 1986 so can't complain. Had a search which told me not to buy Prestolite which is unfortunately the only make Google is finding me. The previous thread said Bosch or Valeo. So 1987 3.5 efi RRC. My catalogue says RTC6061N. The motor removed says Lucas 26801D Type M78R(1.4) Can someone give me alternative Bosch or Valeo part numbers and, if you have it, the best place to buy? Thanks in advance Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Bosch is one of the best IMHO Camberley Autofactors - Liphook - on 01428 724801 ..........they want "Something" in excahnge (sure there is one is petersfield too) Nippon denso are also reknowned as very very good, don't know where as I couldn't find them hence I bough a Bosch. DO NOT waste money on prestolite junk Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The part# for V8 Bosch starters is NAD101490. BUT, as you can see here, I don't think it will fit your engine. Do a search for RTC6061NG and you'll find the Denso/Marreli starters for your V8. No Bosch version for RTC6061 I'm afraid. I'm only 95% sure of this so maybe someone else knows better.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Er ?.... Heres the other 5% then. Camberley Autofactors p/n : BOS 1744 I have one..... and its on my V8 (Rimmers are frankly hopless and expensive too) Just ask the factors for a 3.9efi 1990 starter, then the part number pops up. Magnet Marreli went bust nearly 4 years ago , so thats a unit thats been sitting about, and the quality was iffy..... Bosh or denso IMHO are the ones to go for ?

steve_d Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Spot on HFH. CAF are on my way home from work. Can you remember if they require an exchange. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hybrid_from_Hell, for some reason (now obviously wrong) I thought you have a bigger V8 on your toy and seemed to explain things. Back to the drawing board then ... LR part #s for V8 "big" starters: ESR2191, ERR6087, NAD10038, NAD101190, NAD101490 LR part #s for V8 "small" (Lucas type) starters: RTC5228, RTC6061 The difference between the big ones and the small ones is the power and overall length, the power specs being 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, 1.8 kW. Obviously, the big ones were meant for the bigger V8s (or for colder climates). Other than that, the flange and all the rest looks the same: For one small type example, the Prestolite one (found under part # RTC6061N) is obviously shorter and it has 1.2 kW: The "big guns" are longer and they have 1.7 or 1.8 kW. The length for a Bosch 1.8 kW is 253 mm: The starter Hybrid_from_Hell mentioned is: - Bosch code: 0 986 017 440 - Bosch short code (custom code): 1744 (that is what "BOS 1744" stands for) - Power: 1.7 kW The more powerful Bosch version: - Bosch code: 0 001 109 040 - short code: BX109040 - Power: 1.8 kW "Denso/Marelli" means Denso-who-bought-Marreli-with-Denso-label-built-in-the-old-Marelli-facilities.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Just to add to the above The fat prestojunk type ones don't even fit mine - if you have any type of tubular exhaust bear this in mind, I can't get the early BIG type starters on, has to be the smaller geared ones.... Yep, CAF want "Something" in exchange - with me they got a virtually seized 1987 RR Magnet Marelli one, but they will do a surcharge and then refund when you take the old unit back Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 All done. Nice shiny Bosch starter flings the motor over very nicely. £118 from CAF. Thanks all Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
