HELP ME PLEASE
After MONTHS of working on the car I tried to turn it over for the first time.
Nothing happens with the engine, it sounds as though the starter motor is missing the ring gear. I have had the starter out and it spins with no
problems.
It is a black top zetec with type 9 box, tiger lightened flywheel and the small type lucas sierra starter motor.
HELP ME PLEASE
Thanks Mark

Missing by too much or too little?
If too much, try spacing the motor out with some spacers.
Alternatively, go down scrappies and get one from a 1.8 CVH Sierra - worked first time on mine.

It doesn't seem to be reaching the fly wheel.
Whats the difference between the starter motors (1.8cvh), I thought that is what I had.
Cheers Mark

I have a starter motor from a 1.6 CVH 1981ish and a starter motor from a 1992 1.6 CVH EFi Sierra.
I dont really want to part with either of them, but if you would like to borrow one, that would be fine with me. I am in Mansfield, NG18.
I dont know if either would fit, but they cant be that different, both ran on type 9 boxes.

It is however the type of flywheel fitted that makes the difference. Any ideas what yours is?

Both of my flywheels are exposed for viewing if required.
Show me yours, and I will show you mine.

Always open to offers and all that, but mines buried deep in the depths of the garage!

Yup. Except mine's covered in mank. Sounds like you've got a different type of flywheel fitted.

Not sure what they base it upon. That's what determines the starter. Try posting in the tiger bit. Someone must know what it is, since I
haven't got a clue. But as you say, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

As I said, if you want to try either of mine you are welcome.
I think yours looks similar to my 1992 one.

Do you think your starter is constantly engaed, because my 1991 starter cant be.

thanks for the replys so far.
I have had another look (i know it dark) The starter looks as though it is hitting the engine where the sump flange is.
Is it the correct width?

This could be the answer

I have found the solution
I went and had a look at a car garage and picked up the lucas lrs543, it is slightly longer, put that in and works a treat
Life is good again!!
