Just before Christmas my starter motor packed up. Because I needed the car & couldn't wait, a friend recommended a firm that reconditions starters & as it turned out, also fitted them. Which was great because there was loads of snow at the time & I couldn't be bothered to do it on the drive! :embarrest: In the time it took me to walk into town & have a coffee the car was ready, the new unit even came with a 12 month warranty.
Now I was talking to a chap yesterday who said he wouldn't touch recon' stuff with a barge pole, his reason was he had also bought a starter reconditioned from elsewhere in the country & it had fallen to pieces on him & now he would rather cough up the full price for parts.
I wouldn't buy everything reconditioned but I certainly wouldn't discount it as an option & you could say it count's as recycling too! But what do you think? If you needed a new gearbox for example, would you buy a new one or exchange your tired box for a recon' if was built by an established & reputable firm?
