Replacing The Starter Motor In A 200TDi Land Rover Defender 110

Well the starter motor finally died in my Land Rover Defender so i had to replace it and in this video i will show you the steps i went through in order to do it. its my daily drive and its been almost 20 years since i put one on it before so its not done too bad.

Hi bud hoping you might be able to help I've got a defender 110 with a parasitic draw I've checked all the obvious any idea ?

Just watched your battery SOS video. Its hard to tell what's original so I'm attaching the link to a video I found some years ago the guy takes you through exactly how to trace a difficult parasitic drain hope it helps. Matt
