Can anyone help please, I need to replace the starter motor on my
1991 Defender 90 200TDI, is there a sequence I need to stick to to make things easier, or is it just a case of throwing as many bits out of the way as possible to get access.
Thanks

drop the eggzorst downpipe out of the way, then, provided you've got a decent 3/8" socket set, with a selection of extension / wobble bars, it aint too bad.

Disconnect your battery first, or you will end up with sparks and explosions... wait, in that case leave it connected and film it for us (ware goggles).

Take the old one apart clean it up/overhaul if needed and keep it as a spare.
