I have just bought a starter for my zetec to type 9 installation, but it doesn't fit. The flange on the sump stops the starter from lining up correctly.

It is from a sierra 2.0 dohc, but I think its from a 4x4 model.

My question is, have I bought the wrong one? And if I have, does anybody have the correct one for sale...

Whats the model on it.

You do need to shave a bit of a standard sump to get it to fit.

Silver top is just the ribs on the sump.

Black top is big chunks.

1.8 sierra cvh fits

Is it the lucas starter, from memory LRS707 rings a bell in my head ?

You may well have the correct starter, i had to grind my old zetec sump back a bit to get the starter on.
Not sure if the DOHC sierra starter is the same as the CVH sierra starter but its deffinatly the LRS 707 from lucas.

Lucas lrs 707 is used on both Dohc and 1.8 cvh but so are others.

Wasa,

the numbers on it are;

26823D

date 48-91

type M78R(1.4)

G4X2A

V90BB11000AB

I have taken as much as I dare off the sump. Its the st170 engine with the ally sump

cheers

john

yeh thats the ford number. Its same as the lucas one.

Stick a pic on here.

Should be the same as a black top. I needed to take loads of metal of.

this is the pic from ebay, lost my camera lead.

Does it have the two bolt holes in the end like this one ?

Yours to compare



Description

Warren,

no, it doesnt have the two holes. It does look different completely to the pic you posted.

cheers

john

This should fit

Yous looks like this one so looks like the 4x4 is the wrong one

Warren,

you're right, mine is the wrong bloody one.

Was hoping for first start of the zetec this week, but that will have to wait now.

Thanks for your help mate.

cheers

john

no probs, ive had six or seven like the one with two holes in and they have all fit.

fitted 2 zetecs now into 2 different cars I cut a section out and had Martin Keenan weld a plate to the inside to give a recess for the starter to sit in, did this at the same time as having it shortened
