Starter motor help

[Banbury Glanza]

My starter motor has been on the way out for a while and finally give up the other day, so got another one and sent it to the garage to be changed. But the old one they took off was bigger than the new one, and the new one doesn't have the power to turn my forged engine over. Has anyone else had this problem with a forged engine and know any solutions or other starter motors that will fit??

Thanks

I know the winter pack starlets had a different alternator, maybe they had different starters too.

Is your battery fully charged ? It should start it if its an FTE starter.

Yea battery is 100% mate, the starter is of another car I just don't have a clue what or the new one I have is wrong :/ I'm pretty sure it was fitted at TD when I had the engine done, I'm waiting to hear back from mike @TD to see what he says. Does anyone have a good clear pic of a Glanza starter motor ??

Thanks

The FTE starters are quite big, did the one you buy look like this ?

Shitty pic but you'll be able to make it out.

Hard to say 100% but I don't think it did, the one I borough looks smaller and thinner.

Think theres a few different types.

Hmm yea could be, need to find one

Toyodiy.com check the partnumber. Yeah winter models had different altenators and starters. 1.0kw

The UK N/A ones are the same mate, get them from a local motor factors. It being a forged engine will make no difference unless its high compression which I doubt it is.

I will try and find a na one if I can then

Has anyone got a part number for one of these ?? Having a few problems getting the correct one
