I have a '87 W124 300d (6 cylinder, non-turbo) OM603.
Recently this car had a starter motor failure. I managed to purchase a second hand one, but I wish to repair the old one so I have a spare.

The starter motor has a planetary gear set with the outer being plastic gears (I presume Bosch believed the plastic would last a lot longer than 22 years) which in this case,lost several teeth and the plastic carrier for the intermediate gears is also cracked.

Can anyone advise where I can obtain this gear set?

Thanks,

Tony
