Bigdar 62 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 There are two starter motors listed for my car, a cheap one (RTX @ £60 ish) and a dearer one (Lucas @ £123 dropping to £81 on return of my old one). Should I just go with the Lucas ? Has anyone used an RTX starter motor before ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibot123 16 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 Hi biggy what you got twinnie or a v6 or an oil burner? Only if its a v6 I would go for the Lucas as its so hard to get at. Not sure about he other one is it a brand new one or a re manufactured one ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigdar 62 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 Hi G. It's a 2.0 twinny. Both are new I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibot123 16 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 If they are new it's a matter of what you want to spend they should both be ok I don't know if the Lucas one will be that much better might be worth asking Smacky what he thinks if he's about . Most of the time I end up buying the cheaper due to budget but they are easier to change on he twinnie . I have very rarely had a problem with the so called lesser parts . Some bits you pay just for the name some are better but any starter should last a good 5 years or more . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 No mater what, I would go for the Lucas, so many RTX starters and alternators have caused me grief that I just don't entertain them now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
