FE35 starter motor

[DomP172]

My dad has an old FE35 4 cylinder that struggles to start (he doesn't do the internet or forums so I'm his lifeline here) It's been suggested it needs a 4.2kv starter and having done a bit of searching on here I've seen that @ACEngineering sell them. Anyone know how I go about contacting them for a price and availability although they should now see I've tagged them in this post.

Potentially just masking the underlying problem

Good compression?
Good injector spray pattern?
Low cranking speed as a result of duff battery/bad connections or tired starter motor?

What made you think a faster starter motor is the solution?

Head off, combustion chamber throats opened out, problem solved. I know of one which has had this mod, and it starts within four turns, even if its been standing months.

New 4.2kw starter left mine on the button. The starter seemed lazy and more cranking then brings new battery down too.
She now fires up immediately and no stress on battery.
Should have done it years ago.
Its hard to beat a good sharp crank starting any diesel engine.
