Hi guys my brother's Subaru has been playing up for a while, garage thinks it's the starter motor. He has a 1995 M-reg classic turbo, imported in 2003. Would this be the correct one?

Starter Motor for a Subaru Impreza WRX Turbo 1996 on eBay (end time 30-Nov-09 16:57:20 GMT)

He said it needs to be 1Kw or something? Garage said the best bet is to take his out first and have a look to get the absolute right one... both of us are pretty much amateurs at car mechanics lol, any help appreciated

 

Its a risk buying a 13 year old starter motor, you may as well buy recon or new, ok new is 344 ish quid but thats about 500 quid cheaper than a new age STI one

Yeah that's obviously quite a big difference though, any idea where the best place to get recon ones is?
