thanks for another response, well midday was at an autoelectrician who called my starter a sleepy one, "bring me another one I will swap it out" I asked if he could recon existing,he said yes, but am in two minds about doing a recon of existing one as surely replacing it altogether eliminates risk of him maybe using substandard parts/and or forgetting something during reconditioning old one....plus the current denso 2.0kw rated one better replaced with a 2.2kw ?even if the newer one ain't quite up to the standard of the denso (which going by the service it gave me ain't that good anyway). This herth+buss brand is a pretty new german registered firm for alternative car parts for european and japanese cars, i believe parts made in china. Debate about Chinese products is a whole new ball game for another day.
