Hi


I finally saved up enough to get a new starter for my '82 diesel Vanagon to get her back on the road. I stopped by the local AutoZone in Woodstock, VA yesterday to find that they are all out and cannot get one from the manufacturer. Their price was $120. Has anyone got a suggestion where I can get another for a reasonable price? I would like to keep my old one also if possible.


Also, how difficult is it to change it? It looks more difficult and hard to reach than the ones I have changed before on my diesel pickup and Rabbits. Is there anything I should look out for?


Plans are also to go to a number 2 cable for the positive battery cable which I have already done with the negative and switch to a group 24 Ford battery for more cranking amps.


Many thanks in advance.


Jim
