Owning a Spit isn't too bad.
I determined my starter was bad last Sunday. Removed the starter. 2 bolts, 1
nut, no raising the car, no cramped quarters, 30 minutes at the most.
Ordered a rebuilt starter the same day online via www.spitbits.com . $81.24 with
tax and shipping.
Wednesday starter arrives on my doorstep.
Thursday Install starter. 20 minutes. Starts right up and runs like a champ.
God I love this car!
It's great that you do all this with a 32 year old orphaned vehicle!
P.S. My friend who used to have a BMW 2002 thought I would have paid around $220
for a starter.
