Turn the screw a few times, it releases tension on the clip. Then gently lever a screwdriver blade between the chrome and the cup and push the chrome away. It may need some WD40 but it will give.

Land Rover wrote back to me to say that they couldn't help me even though I have an M chassis 200tdi 110CSW. So maybe the window of opportunity has passed? --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.614613,0.303237

I decided on a new shiny starter motor because I didn't relish going through swapping it over again anytime soon. It means I have the old one to recycle now though. I may yet dismantle it over the winter. There are plenty of other jobs to get on with in the meantime...

Finally got the time and help to test everything and it was the starter motor. Bloody pain to get at that thing. Ended up dropping out the front exhaust section and removing the bonnet. Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm off to find a new starter motor tomorrow and then have the fun of doing...

Thanks Oddie. I'll work my way through the earthing points and then it is either a new battery or starter motor. Pulling the starter moor and testing it on the battery or a trusted one will prove those two. Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.....

Not that I've seen. I have an isolator for the winch. I've just been out and tested that and it works fine. The middle (main) relay sparks when I release the ignition key from start to drop back to II, but not when I turn it to start. Is that normal?

Yes. I get a click.

Sorry should have been clearer. The glow plug light comes on at position II and goes out as expected. I wait for this before starting. It is only on very briefly anyway, but it does light. The ignition will

Awesome. Thanks for your help. I'll get the spanners out again. :)

Engine isn't turning over. Turning the key to start does nothing. Glow plug light is off but I have not pulled them yet. Is there an easy test for those other than going any buying new ones and swapping? I'll have a look at the fuel stop but would I at least hear the starter motor trying to...

>>Have you tried with a fresh new fully charged battery? No. I ran my wife's car next to the landy and tried to Jump it but not a new battery yet. I trickle charged the battery overnight and used a conditioner with a voltage gauge to check I was getting the 13volts it should be chucking out. I...

I finally bought myself the 110 CSW I've been promising myself for years and whilst it needs some work it started first time and ran well from the old owner's place to my drive. Trying to start it a few days later gets nothing. Electrics seem good (headlights, radio, Battery voltage OK -...
