Raul.

www.rockauto.com lists 4 of them for your car. All of them are remanufactured and run from ~90 to $112. I would call them and check about ordering one. Last time I tried to get a peugeot part they had listed. They were unable to get it for me and it took several days to find this out, since I placed a web order.

I don't knwo what time frame you are looking at (is this your only car?), but I have seen them many times on ebay and they usually don't even sell. They have been listed for less than $50, new.

Also, I don't know about the different size thing...Brian seems to know quite a bit about that, but I pulled a Paris-Rhone model off of an 82 505 Diesel (can't recall if it was turbo or not) and it fit in my 85 505TD STI. In fact, it's the starter I'm using at the moment. I have the one from my 85 sitting in the back of my saab. The problem is it's all apart and also that I broke the copper contacts (for lack of better term) when I tried to take it apart; otherwise I'd be willing to part with it.

good luck though.
