No sorry, I meant the op.
Either the problems started when he changed the starter, or there was a problem starting which made him change the starter.0 -
Hi
Yes the van wont even turn over.
I changed the original starter motor as the armiture got stuck in the fly wheel and van wouldn't start. So it was knackered. Put a new one in and it started fine to begin with, but then started to have intermittent starting problems as described above. So have had starting problems with both the old and new starter motor.0 -

Didn't damage the starter ring did it?
If it chewed it up, the new starter could be prevented from engaging.
Otherwise, does the car light up, and just not turn over, or is it totally dead.
Does the starter solenoid click, or is that dead.0 -
Will it bump-start?0

Yes it will bump start.
Yes the lights are fine..all nice and bright. But the blower doesn't come on.
Sometimes there is a click sometimes not.0 -

Thanks for all the help, had someone look at the van today. The problem turned out to be that the contacts in the ignition switch had worked loose. Installed another new ignition switch, and van started straight away. Thanks again.0
