Thanks to forum member Bradders I have got a spare “faulty” starter motor.

Interesting Mike - it was gradually getting worse and worse on the car and always took more than 3-4 attempts by the time I had it replaced. I hope you get it sorted and can make use of it. Current: FF Westminster money pit

When the dealer workshop was investigating my starter motor there was no obvious "fail" but apparently it overheated, it was replaced and the 'click only on pressing button' issue did not occur again while I had that car. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

After replacing my starter motor I decided to dismantle the old one to see what was causing the "Click" problem.

I just fixed this on my m62 starter, yes its different to the tdv8 but no one around did a repair kit then I contacted a guy on the bay who sent me a contacts kit. Result one fixed starter motor. |

When mine was replaced the defective unit went back to LR for refurbishment, there was a credit on the bill for the used unit. Hence maybe why LR don't sell parts. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |

Sod’s law Mike. Sorry to hear yours has succumbed to the same problem. I got mine from Opie too and paid £140 for a local Indy for fitting while I enjoyed a few coffees and a rummage through their 2nd hand spares collection. Hope you get sorted. Current: FF Westminster money pit
