    I'm off to buy the proper tool though, its going in the "in car special tool box" for D2 tools

    What size topmount nut on TD5 starter?

    Just checking that the top (highest) nut on the starter is 15mm?
    I had been thinking it was a 13mm nut, but 13 and 14mm didn't seem to fit, but15mm does seem to fit.
    Just don't want to round nut because I put on wrong sized socket.
    And again on a land Rover, why couldn't they have placed that nut just a few more MM easier to access, so that it allowed easier access for sockets and such?

    Just did mine for a second time about a month ago and the top nut was 15mm for a TD5 Auto, there is some thought out there that the manual gearbox has a 17mm.

    15mm Great, that should make the the task of getting correct socket on it a little easier.
    I was underneath it yesterday in 40C and 80% humidity for about half an hour before I figured that although I had read that the top nut was "difficult" to get a socket to, perhaps I was trying the impossible.
    Many thanks.

    Yeah I read the 17mm bolt thing too and thats what I took out to try but ended up on a 15mm, TD5 Auto '04

    I did the top not from the top, but had the fuel cooler out the way.

    Wobble bar. That’s all it takes.

    You should be able to have the unit on the bench in under 20 minutes.
