You should be ok with a starter from any M20 motor. Im would say the 4 cyl starters are different.

You could get yours tested, it may just need a rebuild.

sometimes its a bad connection as well - i have experienced it with my cab and sal's/karans tourer.

try putting a live to the yellow and black wire - if the starter turns over, then its the connection thats shagged! - get a new piece of wire on there and connected it under the glove box to the black/yellow wire there!

Job Done!!
