Frequently asked questions

What does the starter motor solenoid do?
The starter motor solenoid mounts on the Lucas 2M100 starter body. When you operate the ignition, it throws the drive pinion into mesh with the flywheel ring gear and closes the high-current contacts that feed the starter motor windings, engaging the engine starting circuit.
Which models and engines use this solenoid?
This solenoid fits the Defender up to 2016 running the 2.25 petrol or 2.5 petrol engine, where the Lucas 2M100 starter motor is fitted. It's specific to that starter, so confirm your vehicle has the 2M100 unit before ordering the solenoid.
What are the signs of a failed starter solenoid?
A failing starter solenoid on the Lucas 2M100 typically shows as a single click, or no response at all, when you turn the key with a healthy battery. The internal contacts wear and stop feeding current to the starter windings, so the engine won't crank.
