Thread: Starter Motor ,First Post, Be Kind

A 15mm socket and a 150mm extension bar from a 3/8 drive socket set and maybe a small 'cheeter bar' operated from underneath - worked for me.

BTW, the other two nuts are a different size - 13mm ....................... I think.

While you're doing your starter motor, have a good look at the front driveshaft - the non greasable double cardan joints are renowned for collapsing.

Oh ..... and welcome to the forum

Hi all

Went to start the 99 D2 td5 and a strange sound from the starter motor,
Got under to have a look-see and it’s all but fallen off.
I don’t know how it’s held on two bolts at the bottom (one still there)
At the top it looks like it could have studs maybe two? and nuts.

A) how do I get top nuts in, are there one or two.
what size are these nuts do they need washers & spring washers.
C) what size bolt at the bottom I could take the one that’s left out but if you know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation
Rod
