removing a 200tdi starter motor

<< < (2/2)

suggs:
cheers, looks like a mission, ive done them on 300tdi Disco's and it was easy.

ive done the same before as you, cleaned all connections and removed the solinoid and fuses replaced with new and it started for a few days, only to play up again. only fixed when a new starter was fitted.
strange how they make out you have fixed it only to stitch you up again lol :doh:

Tommo:
if your solonoid trigger wire feels like its not as long as it should be (mine seened to be) then extend it. mine kept popping off the terminal. oh and find someone with very thin arms to put the electrical connections on.

LOL, 18.5 stone and very fast pie arm, that's why I found it difficult :doh:

Heh heh. That brings back memories of lying under the car outside supermarkets trying to stretch the darn thing back on. Either that or it was find a hill, push, run and jump in.
Those nuts are pretty fiddly to put back in but I managed with normal spanners and a short socket set (could have been longer).
