^ That looks really bad. I'm surprised it lasted so long. You got a good fair price to change that out too.

Wow that's knackered!

Great result and excellent price

I didn't take a pic of my old one, but it looked much better than this ^^^

With that sort of Service, and Price, perhaps the OP could name the repairer for possible future usage by others.

My usual local garage replaced the starter motor - £240 all in
Cheers

Hi
Was £240 the labour charge OR labour plus starter ?

@AndrewCS

I'm in Dundee and experiencing exactly the same problem with a W169. Any chance you can tell me which garage you used in Perth?

Thanks.

I'm just about to take off my starter from another of my car w169 A150
I'll try from the bottom first. Just in case I bought set of manifold gaskets to change them if removed from the top. Await pict.
