Deutz starter motor

[firewood]

Deutz fl10 diesel engine. Need a new starter motor. Anyone know if these starters are used on other vehicles? Engine is circa 1976.

 

Hoping i can pick up one cheaply if same as an old vw or bmw etc.

Have you not got a rotating electrics guy who can rebuild it for you?

If not then deutz will be able to supply.

You should defo look for someone to rebuild if possible. Deutz starter motors are notoriously expensive and rare to come by. We have a deutz engine idle in storage,the boss is reluctant to sell any parts though. If you have any numbers off the starter motor I'l find out what else it's fitted to tomoro.

There are numerous places that you could take it to and get it rewound. Unfortunately, it'll not be cheap but it will be a darn sight cheaper than getting a new one.

Thanks for the replies.

 

Have found someone in turrif who repairs them and he is kooking at it now for me.

 

I was hoping the starter was a common one from the auto or plant markets and i could pick one up on the bay.

 

 

Deutz are hideously expensive. Had to replace an ally finned and coiled oil cooler pipe last year on same engine. Couldnt find anyone to make me one for me. So had shell out over £300 to deutz for an original part. With hindsight should of just made one up from copper tubing.

 

We dont make or repair bugger all in this country anymore unless you do it yourself.

Illegible. Will try and decipher and get back to you. Thanks.

Update.

 

Heard from repair guy . Unit is to old to repair. Parts no longer available. He has sourced me a replacement unit for £145 so not the end of the world.

Sounds like good price for one of those.not the end of the world after all.

£145 nicker is cheap for an alternator.

 

Someone told this week that the Range Rover sport alternator is positioned so that if it needs replacing, the whole engine and front of the car has to come off!

Stuff like that really annoys me.

A giant make work scheme for main dealers.

 

When manufacturers submit models for construction and use certification they should be refused a ticket for unreasonable design like that or be forced to meet repairs from their pockets for as long as the vehicle has an mot.
