Hi all,
I'm new here and hopefully someone here knows the answer. My daughter has a 2009 Jimny, which won't start. I have "diagnosed" that the starter motor needs replacing. Entering the Registration on various websites tells me which starter motor I should buy, but the first one that has arrived appears to be far to big to fit in the small space available. The current one is lablelled at Mitsubishi. My question is, should I be looking to replace the existing one with one the same size as the one taken out, or am I being led down the wrong path, and try to squeeze in one that is recommended by AutoParts or Halfords. Is it possible to fit one with an attached stud, or do I need one that is fixed using 2 bolts, as the one I have wriggled out?
I would love it if someone just happens to have a part number!
Does it look like this?
If so that likely the part number you can see on the side plate in the photos. Or these are selling a few used, no link to them myself.
Ebay
Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
I can also recommend Parts in Motion either direct or on eBay, they are very quick, helpful and have good prices, they also seem to have the correct parts.
Just put you registration in and it will show you the options.
It suggests it is 31100-80G10 although I am never quite sure if the parts catalogue is exactly right for the year,but I don’t think parts like this changed much year on year.
The alternative is to ask Martin at the BigJimny store (banner at the top of the page) he will know and might even have a starter motor in stock.

Thank you everyone. We went to Parts in Motion with the OEM number, and they sorted us out straight away, supplying the correct sized starter motor first time - unlike Halfords or AutoParts who still list the wrong size items for this car!
