starter motor recond??

I usually buy new, but for a starter I would be tempted to go scrap.
They are pretty hard wearing normally, and if you can get one for about £15 scrap its a cheap fix.
I think its an easy job, I think there are only two through bolts holding it on.
Plus if you can go on popular websites and find a car listed for parts that has low miles might be a good one.

I got a brand new recon one from a big auction site for £10 plus postage there are good deals to be done if you look around 
I thought they were 'exchange' parts - i.e. you give them your old one in return for buying a new one (well that's what happened at GSF).
this is true, normaly charge you the full amount and you get a small refund then you return your old one.
Low miles may not mean anything with a starter. Mine needed reconditioned at 26k, just 1k after buying the car from 1 lady owner since new. I guess she was continously stalling the car for 7 years or just driving 100 yards every day
Started causing more problems now at 73k. Sometimes does not engage but just try it again and it works. Learned to live with that now, not the biggest problem I am having with the car.
