hi,
well this year i want to get rid for the heat soak problem and found instructions on what to do, the question i got is with living in the UK am having a hard time finding the Starter Solenoid in the instructions (Wells part # F496), i know the instructions were done a couple of years ago and was wondering has the part been discontinued? or is it because i live in the UK its a b****h to find? or is there a better one to get nowa a days?

 

Can use any HD remote starter solenoid.
Lucas make them for factory and aftermarket

plenty on UK eBay

This old style one is good because it has a button on the solenoid allowing you to start engine from under the hood

when i did this, i used a basic off the shelf ford truck solenoid (like a 1985 Ford F150 5.0L) . not sure what you have for availability on them, but a couple of part numbers you can try crossing are BWD (brand) S58Z or S5049Z
