There seems to be a big range of prices for t25 starter motors, £75 (free postage) from Ebay to, say, £130ish from Brickwerks.
Is there any difference in use or do you simply get what you pay for?

Re: Starter motor pricing
Bosch starters are infinitely repairable.
Unlike the cheap versions.
If you have the original Bosch starter then it can be completely repaired back to new.
Any alternator/starter repair shop can help.
Mine was repaired for £25.00
And is working well after several years

Got to be careful though, somebody I know took it to a Bosch official repairer and didn't stipulate how much he was prepared to spend, the bill was £180 if I remember.... he walked away and lost the starter.
Always state if it's more than say £50 then they must call for approval.
