Come to the conclusion after quite a bit of testing that the starter is on its way out again(sticking).It had lasted 14 months and has started sticking moore often. So after speaking to 5ltr-chim after seeing this thread he recommend the Starter that he had sourced from www.brookwell.co.uk at £ 50 + Vat. thats less than a reconned one.
Its made by Prestolite Electrics who are a renowed South African Company.
Have seen the same one in other dealers for over £120.
After talking to my local LR dealer a while back I was told they had stopped making the older larger one so I gather this is the replacement. It Spins a lot quicker than the older one which is a bit wierd as it sound so high pitched before the Engine fires in its Burbling Roar.
Not sure they still do them for that price but as you can see thats 17 months ago and its still going ok touches wood/head
BB
£60.00
but thats a Deno one, they dont seem to have the presolite one? I didn't have much luck with the Prestolite one I had, it never really worked that well, I guess that's down to luck as BB's has worked with no probs. Remedy on mine was the extra earth cable, Mod-wise solenoid current boosted and re-fitted the original starter motor which now has no problems at all. The probs on mine were hot start however.
