Disco 200Tdi in a 90 - Changing the starter motor?

<< < (2/2)

extreme90:
no dont start ripping the engine 2 bits, i have a 200 disco in my 90, startor seized what you do is jack the engine and gearbox up, loosen the engine mountings but dont take the nuts off ! i found that it gave me just enough room 2 fiddle it around and out and fit it back in 30 mins l8r....but with a lotof cursing goin on tho :roll:

extreme90:
remember kiss......keep it simple stupid..stand back and think there is always a solution ! i nearly gave up on fitting this disco engine but i stud back and thought. fitted it without any fancy conversions but found it sluggish. so i fitted a disco gearbox in with brought the origional downpipe back in2 play....now it it kills my grandads disco in a straight line even with grizzlys on

Xtremeteam:
i had to take the turbo manifold off mine & then remove the studs to get the starter out BUT now got a defender 200 so not a problem now

stefan:
Job all done. I did remove the manifolds and turbo, actually wasn't that bad, once the intake manifold was removed I then took the exhaust manifold and turbo out as one complete unit, no oil dripped from the 2 pipes, in fact the hardest bit was getting the oil feed banjo connection on the turbo to line up again once I'd primed it with fresh oil, and tightening the bolt underneath the centre of the manifold.

Let's hope this new starter lasts for quite a while!!
