I bought my replacement starter back in April because I got the dreaded click and wanted to get it changed whilst the weather was decent..... however seven months later it has never “clicked” again so the new one is still in the box.

Ozzy a quick question did you raise the suspension, remove drivers wheel then lower the suspension to get the clearance on the anti roll bar? Presumably must still have battery connected to start engine to lower suspension?

Massive thanks to Mpirie instructions, changed mine today on my 2012. All went well. Bit of fiddle but got it done. Put car in access mode before jacking it up which meant anti roll bar was in lowest position. Had no issues. Started on the button once all back together. See how it is in the cold weather and hopefully do another 100k! 2012 4.4 TDV8 AB Sumatara Black with Ivory / Jet interior |

Yes have read that also. When I bought the car 2 years ago I fitted a new AGM battery. Wasn't anything wrong but changed anyway as know old batteries can cause lots of issues. Turned out was the original one, had 9 years so worth changing.

Get the starter mod done, it continues to work for me very well even with low SOC. The issue here is the trigger wire sensitivity/resistance change over a period of time. I have a secondary solenoid installed, but some have upgraded the wire.

Ive done three things (in this order) to greatly reduce the frequency with which clicking occurs...
