Hi all, having problems removing lower bolt on starter motor on 2002 1.8 freelander 1. Is it removed from top or underneath or through wheel arch.

I think you can remove it from above, You will have to remove the air cleaner assembly...

Great stuff. Thank for reply. Is the bottom bolt a stud or nut and bolt.

Going by the last 4 posts it appears you're not necessarily to tech savy, so this might not be for you, but the following link shows you how to download the Rave Workshop Manual for Freelander...

https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rave-disk-maintenance-manual.260227/

Make sure you download the later manual for the 1.8/TD4 cars.

I've never taken the starter off a 1.8, but the Rave manual will give step-by-step instructions.

Thanks for reply but I only wanted to find out if it was a bolt or stud. It was stripped down and getting dark. Job done now.
