I had my starter replaced last year and it`s a big weight off my shoulders as I used her all this week at silly oclock in the morning.
At least you know its all good for quite a while now.
Not a bad price as well.

Dennis is a great mechanic, also looks after my son's E30 and does the servicing and MOT for him, worth paying for peace of mind and the main thing is that he is honest and gets the job done.

Think the last service service cost my son two cartons of cigarettes, my son saved Dennis saved. People like him are rare in this day and age.
