Hey lads, my starter motor on my 2L 2001 Forester is on it's way out. Engine struggles to start 50% of the time cause the crank simply isn't getting turned, more often than not. Once it does turn over the engine runs like a dream which leads me to believe the starter is bollocks.

Anyone have a starter motor, that would suit the EJ20 motor, that they want to part with. Failing that I'll just try Japanese Wholesale Parts. Cheers.

I have a few off various EJ motors. If you are able to post up a photo of your one I can see if I have one the same or not.

Thanks anyway though Andrew. If it plays up again I'll send you a PM.
Cheers mate.
