    Given how many Mirages you've bought, would the dealer warranty you a new starter if you brought in the dead one?

    I can understand not wanting to wait for them to do the work on the car.

    Hard to say, they are really hit and miss as far as service goes. If it were me I'd ask for a new one.. If they say no I'd wait til we have a spare car sitting around and I'll put the dead starter in it and tow it down lol

    I just had another starter crap out @96000kms(59650miles for ghee if he's still around). Changed it in a customers parking lot but forgot to bring a floor jack. Damnit.. If anyone has to do it you'll need a 10mm to undo a battery cable,remove the 3 10mm bolts that hold the little skid plate onto the starter, 2- 12mm bolts hold the starter in place, 1 12mm nut for the power wire and the little wire just clips on. (and ratchet of course). Pretty easy job but not fun when the thing is hotter than Africa. Bring gloves, the starter will be greasy.

    This should have been covered by warranty but too late now. I just installed one with under 10k kms from a 17 that hit a deer.

    Did you lift the car at all to get at the starter? Extra bonus points if not. And what did the failed one look like - what do you think caused the failure?

    Yeah, curious to know more if you do a post-mortem on it.

    Nope did in on the ground. Having eyeballs on my fingertips comes in handy. Should have brought a floor jack but the one at work is freaking heavy plus I forgot. It crapped out just before 4 I go home at 5.
    Didn't tear it apart yet but might look further into buying brushes for them. It stunk pretty bad. The cars are shut off at every stop, Even if waiting for a long train so they're gonna wear a lot faster than normal. I might be able to do a start and stop report with the gps program and find out how many times the starter has been used on these ones.

    AND you were courteous enough to tell us all about it. Nice rescue job there Superman. Your driver and us all fully appreciate it.
