Title: Appia starter motor Post by: peterbaker on 28 October, 2007, 08:14:04 PM Wanted. Do you have a starter motor for a series one Appia? I have tried later options but nothing works. Any suggestions please.

Sorry, I don't have one. I saw a very expensive "refurbished" starter motor at the Padua classic car show last weekend. I thought it might be possible to repair starter motors: maybe you should try to find a good workshop which can rewind motors, replace brushes, etc. Best of luck Andrea Title: Re: Appia starter motor Post by: peterbaker on 30 October, 2007, 04:11:37 PM Thanks Andrea its obviously good advice as thats exactly what I have done, but the unit is very, very tired and it would be nice just to pop down to my local dealer and buy one off the shelf! Ha
Title: Re: Appia starter motor Post by: Scarpia on 30 October, 2007, 05:50:15 PM I'd have it rebuilt (again). If it's done well it will be as good as new.
otherwise buy something like this and make the rallies really "cold" and challenging...and you get a starter motor with it for free... ;D http://www.marktplaats.nl/index.php?url=http%3A//auto.marktplaats.nl/oldtimers/120589086-lancia-appia-special-bj-1960.html%3Fxref%3D1 Title: Re: Appia starter motor Post by: Peter W on 30 October, 2007, 09:36:56 PM Peter,
I have had both my starter motor for my Fulvia and the one for my VX Coupe rebuilt by a local firm. They took a couple of days each time and cost around £70 each with a year's warranty. That was over 2 years ago and I have had no further problems. I realise that the Appia's is rather earlier but is there anything special about it?

If all fails will ask for more help, in the meantime, see you at NEC
