And, further to Simon's experience, I can say that I have always been able to make an original Lucas starter work perfectly satisfactorily and never found the need to install a gear reduction starter other than on AHX12 and that was in the interests of weight
reduction. </div>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've decided to replace my BJ8 starter with a gear reduction starter from British Parts Nortwest. The part number is: 16131AHD</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are there any opinions or experiences from anyone on the list as to whether this is a good choice?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p>Dave Masucci</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
