Colin, I highly recommend a starter from Britishstarters.com. It's a Denso gear reduction starter, better and cheaper than OE and has a lifetime warranty.

If you use enough extensions to have the ratchet/breaker bar just in front of the diff you don't need a wobble socket.
IIRC it's an 8mm Allen socket.

I took a pair of aviation tin snips and very carefully cut the inner fender wall vertically upward right by the seam at the rear of the fender wall. That allowed me to basically fold the inner wall up and out of the way for clear unobstructed view and direct access to the starter and the 8mm allen cap screw that they are referring to.

Upon completion, the fender wall folds right back down into place. This also provides direct access to the exhaust/y-pipe junction to change that gasket.

I realize some people would never consider doing this to their Land Rover. In my opinion the improved access justifies doing it. Just wanted to let you know. Decide for yourself. I like to be able to see and reach what I am trying to work on without all the contortions involved in doing it the other way.
