That's how I managed to get it out in the end, thanks!

Reckon that's my only option?

Due to the fact that the 200tdi in my Defender 110 is a rather poor conversion from the original 2.4 petrol, the starter motor is in a very tight position. After many hours work I've managed to get all 3 bolts undone that hold it in place but can't seem to find a way to remove it. Its the...

Found out it was the solenoid on the starter motor that's buggered so had to remove the starter motor. That was easier said than done! Just gotta get it fixed now and refit it.

Cheers people :) Yup I do love my Defender, and series. Already know about hitting things with a big hammer from farm machinery! haha

Hello all, I've just purchased my first landy, 1983 Defender 110 crew-cab. Right on the change over from Series 3 so it has sliding windows and series door handles. Its got a 200tdi engine in it too! My black hands show that I'm already in love, I've so far changed the oil/filter, the fuel...

Yeah will do :)

Ah yes of course, mechanics isn't my strong point, if it was i could of figured that out myself. I have a basic knowledge

How would i re-attach it?
