97 disco starter issues
It is a backup disco while my other one is being repaired , when the weather is cold below minus 5 the starter will not engage I managed to jump start it with a small push. and when it is warm it is no problem I took the wire off the frame from the neg battery terminal cleaned it and put it back on but no difference, I then took a propane torch to the starter and after just a few minutes it started . it has a brand new battery any ideas would be helpful thanks

I'm wondering if some starters have 2 different types of bolts?

I think they are called torx bolts, and they are star shaped. Thanks for the info guys. I haven't dug into the starter yet, but I have one on the shelf, just waiting for a good time to get dirty with it. So, it is hex head bolts, 9MM. Good to know.

Removal
So, I think you can be sure it is an allen/hex head(if I am correct a 9MM), check the sticky section for a write up on removal of the starter. As stated the shield is hardest part. It connects to the engine mount and is recessed into the cavity, so it is a little hard to get at.
