Frequently asked questions

What is the 218508 Starting Handle used for on a Land Rover Series?

The starting handle (218508) engages the dog on the front of the crankshaft and allows manual cranking of the engine by hand. It was standard equipment on Land Rover Series 1 (1948-1958), Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 (to 1985) as a backup starting method and engine-positioning tool.

What are the main uses for a starting handle on a Series Land Rover today?

Today the starting handle is typically used to rotate the engine for maintenance: setting TDC for valve or ignition timing, or turning the crankshaft during a decoke. It's also useful as an emergency backup if the battery or starter motor fails off-road.

Where does the starting handle typically connect to the engine on a Series Land Rover?

The handle typically engages through an aperture in the front panel or crossmember to reach the crankshaft dog at the front of the engine. It connects directly to the crankshaft, so keep fingers clear and grip from the side in case the engine kicks back during cranking.
