FAQs

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and 'Check where we deliver' confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.

From the number on the failed unit: the OEM reference cross-references to the replacement, and each page lists the references replaced and applications served. Tooth count, voltage and mounting are the physical cross-checks. Where the plate is gone, the registration or machine model, serial and engine details resolve it via Ask Simon or WhatsApp.

Check the cheap causes first: battery state and cold-cranking capability, terminal and earth-strap condition, then the solenoid — a sharp click with no crank is often solenoid contacts, which are listed as components. A starter that cranks slowly when hot, screams without engaging, or stays silent with good supply earns replacement.

Cranking power: high-compression diesels demand far more torque than petrol engines, and larger machines run 24V systems whose starters are built for it. The power rating, voltage, pinion tooth count and engagement type listed per unit are the specification — a lookalike with the wrong rating fails fast and can damage the ring gear.

When one component failed in a sound unit, yes: solenoids, drives and pinions, brushes and brush holders are listed from the WAI and AS-PL component ranges, and high-value or hard-to-source starters justify the work. Worn bushes with chewed pinions and burnt windings tip the maths to a complete cross-referenced replacement.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you. For parts that don't fit your machine, the Fit Guarantee covers a hassle-free return at no cost. For buyer's remorse — you've changed your mind or ordered the wrong item, email us first to obtain a Return Merchandise Number; a restocking fee may apply. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.

Starter Motor

Starter motors are the part that turns intention into a running engine, and on working machinery they earn their failures: cold diesel mornings, high-compression cranking, and duty cycles that car starters never see. PartsForMachines supplies starter motors as an Authorised Distributor and Seller for WAI Global and AS-PL, matched by OEM cross-reference across cars, commercials, tractors, plant and industrial engines. The identification is the number on the failed unit: the OEM reference on the existing starter cross-references to the replacement, with each product page listing the references replaced, the applications served, and the specification cross-checks, voltage across 12V and 24V systems, power rating, since diesel displacement demands cranking power, pinion tooth count and drive engagement, and mounting geometry. Where the plate is unreadable, the registration, machine model and serial or engine details resolve the fitment, with Ask Simon confirming the match before ordering. Diagnosis pays here too: a click with no crank is as often a flat battery, corroded connections or a failing solenoid contact as a dead motor, and slow cranking on a cold diesel may be the battery's cold-cranking amps giving up rather than the starter. When the starter is the fault, the component level is covered, solenoids, drives and pinions, brushes and brush holders from the WAI and AS-PL ranges, for the units worth rebuilding rather than replacing. Alternators share the section, with batteries alongside, the partnership every cranking problem involves. For cross-reference confirmation, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
