An aside to Kevin, didn't that book I sent you of specifications feature the 407/408? It's been so long ago I forget.

Peter, I can't remember either, but none of the books have part numbers in them for the V8 cars.

Hi,
.
It is a book, same size as the red owners manual, easy way pay BOC membership and get cheap reprint about 100 pages including breakdown diagrams.
I have two, one mint from the AA collection, one came with the car, and I have a reprint from BOC, very cheap.

TryEurolec Components As a 'starter for ten' they may want your origonal unit for dimension checks.

Hi Greg,
As you know I am a bit "crook" at the moment and am not allowed to drive or lift anything.
My gardener comes tomorrow so I will ask him to move the 407 and get the starter motor indoors so I can 'photograph it. That is if he comes! It might snow.
Carol dare not drive it out of the garage as she has never driven the 407 or shown any inclination to do so!. One good reason for looking at the power steering we were talking about.
.
Kind regards,
.Nick

Three starters were ordered and two are fitted and working. One on a 407 and one on a 408. They work superb and are a doddle to fit.

Nic will have his when back from holiday.

Well worth the search by Dave Taylor and the work he put in with Hot Heads USA

All the usual benefits of a lot less battery needed for a much stronger turn over of the engine.

Those resources that was given in this thread about the car starter motor replacement or parts was very informative. I might use these thing up when the time I need to change something from my car. Thanks for this one!
