Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3470 starter motor brush set used for?
The RTC3470 starter motor brush set is the carbon brush set for the Lucas M45 starter motor on Land Rover Series 1, 2 and 3. The brushes bear on the commutator to carry current into the armature, which is what lets the starter crank the engine.
What are the signs the starter brushes need replacing?
Worn starter brushes typically show up as slow or reluctant cranking, intermittent starting, or a starter that clicks but won't spin. As the carbon brushes wear down, contact with the commutator weakens. Fitting the RTC3470 set restores the contact needed for reliable cranking on a Series Land Rover.
Can I fit the RTC3470 brushes myself?
Fitting the RTC3470 brushes is a DIY job for anyone comfortable with auto-electrics. The starter usually has to come off and be partly dismantled to reach the brush gear, and some M45 brushes are soldered to their leads. Basic hand tools and a soldering iron are typically all that's needed.
How do I confirm the RTC3470 brush set fits my Land Rover?
The RTC3470 brush set fits the Lucas M45 starter motor used on Land Rover Series 1, 2 and 3. Brush sets are specific to the starter type rather than the vehicle, so check that your Land Rover has the M45 starter before ordering, as they typically won't fit other starter motors.
