went to start my car and it just went click click. the battery isnt flat, ive taken the starter out now and pulled it apart, the brushes are mint so not them. so from reading other forums i think its the solenoid, right?

what exactly is the solenoid? the smaller part on the side of the starter that pushes the gear part out? can you buy them new?

Yep thats the solenoid, don't know if you can buy them new.

price up a new starter motor, I got mine from battery town or something on lincoln rd, $150 for a k series. Not sure how much for 4age, but you never know. Or send Revhead an email, he is the toyota parts king after all :lol:

can anyone tell me exactly what the solenoid is? is it the smaller part on the side of the starter motor that engages the gear?

yeah afaik thats the bit, its pushes the lever which in turn pushes the cog to engage on the flywheel (my average understanding)

I think you can give the pulley on the starter a wack with something hard, Ive heard that does wonders.

i tried wacking it hard while it was in there but to no success.

2t starter will be similar to blue top, just change the alloy housing if necessary
