Swifty-
thanks for the link- I'll give them a call soon- you don't happen to know the part number do you?
I'm in Hawthorn, and you're welcome to drop past anytime you are nearby- it'd be great to have a fellow BJ42 owner have a look over mine

pm on its way.
Thats a real generous offer for the starter- mine isn't even registered yet so its really no problem for me to wait for this one to get re-done- so long as it doesn't take too long.
I've gotta get the windscreen done, get a gear fab'd up for the drivers side window winder (that has stripped), get a dash switch and wire up the window washer tub I have just put in- and depending on how fussy the RWC people are- possibly get the heater and blower installed and working(for de-mist)(I've got the blower and heater/heater core cleaned out and repainted but no plastic plumbing pipes for the air- and have to figure out the coolant plumbing)... and whatever else they tell me to do...
so there is plenty of time for the starter to get rebuilt.
Cheers, Hans.
