We have a wholesale account with QH :D The bonus of being in the motor trade.
Anyway, stripped it down, cleaned it up and put it back together....... and for the moment it seems to work. We'll see how long it lasts.
Why do Land Rover make it sooo difficult to get at the starter motor?? :evil: It was much easier putting it on when the engine was out :lol:

You obvious didn't spill enough blood or graze knuckles hard enough during the build and thus are now in the disapproval of the Green Oval Gods and they are seeking their pound of flesh. You'll get a crank rear oil seal leak next [-o<
Once the dog spins free I lube it with a little copper slip. Hey the A-series mini starter dog seize up regular but you can a least clunk that one with hammer easy enough.

A disco lump is so much easier to get the starter!

Well, I thought it was all OK, but this morning it's back to it's old tricks :roll: So I might try a QH one given I will now be an expert at starter motor removal :lol:
