The starter on a D90 200Tdi is a PITA to change, I am now hoping someone comes and tells me there is an option, please [-o<

What you replacing with? Cheap Chinese/britpart starter motors have gaping holes in them for rapid water ingress, try and replace with a 2nd hand OEM part, Bosch is the better one, should be about £50.00 from a landrover breaker.
