Our long history has taught us that you only keep customers satisfied by supplying quality products and outstanding service. We’ve been in the business of supplying quality electrical components for over 35 years. As electricity travels through the coil, the core becomes magnetized, which creates force to push the mobile core outward to engage gears on the starter.īecause we work directly with the factories, we can save you money by offering these electronic components at value prices. Solenoids have wire coils that wrap around a mobile core. Once the engine starts, the solenoid disengages, cutting off the flow of electric. The solenoid engages when the ignition key is turned, creating a link to allow for the flow of electricity to the starter. Solenoids work as electromagnetic switches, serving as the link between the ignition and starter. A new DB Electrical solenoid will restore precise, quick starts in a vehicle when it’s time to replace an older one. We work directly with factories to make sure only premium materials and uncompromising craftsmanship go into every electrical unit. There are a few youtube videos describing it all as well.Our aftermarket solenoids are manufactured to exacting OEM specifications for perfect fit and superior performance. I have had great success doing this work myself, rather than paying an auto electrician to get it wrong. Take care not to leave it on, once you are finished, you might burn the house down. You will need a large soldering iron to solder in the brushes. They will put together what you need, from the numbers on the starter motor. I have bought parts in the past from j-c-r auto electrical on ebay. I would recommend counting the number of teeth on the gear, of you ever buy a second hand one, and make sure that they match. As Vern said the 2M45 was also made as a pre engaged starter motor as was the 2M100. These are a stronger starter, and provide better cranking than the 2M45. It will have metric smoke in it which will not conduct right through the imperial smoke, in Lucas wires!īoth my Rovers have second hand 2M100 starters in them. Remanufactured starters (from China) are available, so be careful sourcing a second hand one. They loose their tension over time, and cause similar problems as worn brushes.Īlso beware that the service replacement that Rover recommended was a 2M100 starter motor, which was also used on the Land Rover 4 and 6 cylinder motors. I would suggest replacing the brush springs as well.
