Denso, I've been down the aftermarket track and returned to the same as you're considering, s/h Denso.
Hi all, make it short, I enjoyed the 1st bump start last night 30kms away from home with my D2a and successfully drove her home and dead on driveway now waiting for a new starter motor. Good point is I now know that my D2a is sooo very easy to do bump start.
My question is which way to go? A Used Denso (which I will replace all new parts for the solenoid as I already bought one) or buy New aftermarket starter motor without brands?
Thanks for giving me your thoughts.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
Why not simply refurbish the one you already have in the D2

Quite a simple job to replace the brushes, solenoid and the bearings which you should be able to do yourself and not that expensive either.
The biggest job is getting the starter out and back in again which you will have to do regardless of what you decide to either replace or repair the starter.
If you decide to use a second hand starter then there is no guarantee that that one won't die on you as well.

Check the solenoid contacts before fitting the 2nd hand starter.If worn replace with For Land Rover Discovery Defender TD5 2.5 Diesel Starter Motor Repair Fix Kit AU | eBay Ensure full contact is made before tightening the posts.
seeing you already have the repair kit, it'll take you 5-10 minutes with it on the bench to fit, even if you just replace the contacts it will be years before you will have to do brushes, bearings etc.
I'm seeing them last 2-3 sets of contacts before having to do brushes and bearings.
Ashdown and Ingram auto electric wholesalers have the parts you need to replace the solenoid parts, some kits on ebay are are not exact fit on the plunger diameter, they are close but not purpose built for the model starter.
