<< < (2/3) > >>

Miniman:
On a normal starter there is a thick wire that comes out of the MOTOR near the solinoid this goes on the nut nearest the motor. Then the other nut is the thick live feed straight from the battery. The small terminal which is a small nut or spade connector goes to the small wire which is a feed from the ignition switch. This wire is the one which sends a +12v to the solinoid which then makes the magnet in the solinoid whack a copper strip across the inside of the two BIG nuts to make a connection for the motor. If you have a pair of jump leads and a battery connect the black to the Negative - on the battery then the other end to the body of the Motor. Then take the red lead and Carefully connect it to the Big nut furthest away from the motor. Then the other to the battery +. Be ever so carefull not to touch the solinoid case. The motor should do nothing. Then take a wire to the + red and touch the small connector small nut or spade connector.

At this point S**T yourself as the motor spins out of controll off the table.

HOLD IT WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WIRE.

Miniman:
Check this out...

The motor gets its Earth or Negative from being bolted to the Bellhousing on the gearbox. That is why you have to give it a negative - with the jump leads to make it work. Hope this is of help.
Give us a shout if you need more help...

yer auld aunt nelly:
o.k.so ive got the spade connecter  in place.And connecter from solinoide closest to the motor with the motor.And main battery feed is on the other side to motor ive got two more ring ended thickish cables thier the ones that i need to know about.

Miniman:
Ah now this is where a picture would be good. I suppose you mean there are cables on the landy or are they coming out from the Starter motor....

yer auld aunt nelly:
Ah right i see what you mean.What we have here is a 110,85 plate v8 with engine and just about everything in place (including starter and solinoide).After a gearbox transfer so the two cables im talking about  are already in the bay at the place there meant to be just need the right connection.The probs with nelly is she is at that point in age when she is to refered as a series110 as oppossed to a true 'defender' .And it is believed by some that she may have a rover sdi block.The jury is still out on that one .But the more i find out is she is more like a stage1 than a defenderv8 under the hood!
