Yup, this is a starter on it's way out. The click is the solenoid activating, but there is a dicky contact so the motor doesn't spin. A decent independent should be able to fit a recon one for next to nothing.
As an aside, when you have a dicky solenoid as well, and the two faults sync perfectly you can have fun watching the solenoid oscillate rapidly with the starter occasionally spinning

or if thats too exciting fer you you could always lie under yer landy and watch the chassis rustAs an aside, when you have a dicky solenoid as well, and the two faults sync perfectly you can have fun watching the solenoid oscillate rapidly with the starter occasionally spinning

if you can get at it, take it out and clean it. mine was doing the same so i pulled it out and cleaned it, resealed it and its worked fine since. save yourself the best part of £150. **** recon units, get a new one off paddocks and get your local indi to fit it. refurbs cost the same.

I would take it off and strip it down, the chances are it can be fixed.
I bought my landy from CharlesY and when he first got it he cleaned the starter up because it had not run in years. A contact in the starter motor was goosed, so it was flipped round and then it worked perfectly.
They are not that bad to work on, take it apart and clean it all up.

Last couple of days, when trying to start my landy, the key turns and all i get is a click, then off, click, off, click, off, then start.
Is this typical starter motor probs?
Im totally mechanically naive.
Its amazing, landy runs prob free for donkeys, then problem after problem.
More probs, out today, had problems selecting gears, came on suddenly,trouble selecting any, was getting sweaty and heart was pounding as i got caught in traffic - pleaded with a garage mech to have a wee look, said it was leaking, slave cylinder, and may need a new clutch, as these two go hand in hand seemingly, he bled something, added some fluid and its a bit better for the meantime.
Cant seem to find complete clutch price,for td 110 1991 defender, slave cylinder is v cheap though.
Will i def need a new clutch?
cheers steve
