We just received our '88 LJ70 2.4TD from the shippers not too long ago and unfortunately we need a starter. I asked the Spanish mechanic to fix it just before we left, but apparently that was lost in translation and he only cleaned it, not replaced the parts. Anyway, can't cry over spilled milk.
Any San Diego county areas that will rebuild the starter without braking the bank? Any idea of approximate cost of that?
I can replace the parts myself if I can find them. Any reputable suppliers of OEM for the parts?
It's easy to remove so I am completely okay with doing the work myself, as long as I have the means to buy all the right parts.
I have found a remanufactured one on eBay for $50 in the UK, but I would have to get it sent to a UK buddy and then have them ship it over to me, and I'm sure that and customs wont be cheap. Otherwise I haven't found it for under $200 online here.
Any help is appreciated! Let me know your opinion on rebuilding myself vs installing a remanufactured one. I am not really into getting other brand parts.
