Hi all,
I'm trying to fit a new starter motor to my 91 defender 90 200TDI. After searching every which way I think i've located it on the left hand side of the engine below the turbo and exhaust system. however it looks an absolute b@*tch to fit. Can anyone give me any advice on the best way to get to this or do I have to strip the Turbo and exhaust doen pipe to get to it???????

Thanks
JB

Just drop the eggshorst downpipe out of the way.
The top bolt's still a bit of a bugger to get at though.
