Land Rover Defender Puma Starter Motors

Our Land Rover Defender starter motor range has three motors for the 2007-2016 Puma, and they suit the 2.4L and 2.2L TDCi diesel.

Need a Land Rover Defender 90 starter motor or one for a 110? Each page lists its fitment. If you're unsure, send us your VIN and we'll check it before you order.

Fixing a Land Rover Defender starter motor problem

All three motors are one part in three grades. The Land Rover number is LR025840. The OEM and aftermarket versions add a P1 or a P.

The aftermarket LR025840P and the OEM LR025840P1 are both in stock, with a 24-month warranty on each. If you want original-equipment grade without waiting for the Genuine part, the OEM is the one to order.

The Land Rover Genuine LR025840 is the part Land Rover itself supplies. That said, it's on back-order now and carries an exchange surcharge, which we refund if your old motor comes back in one piece within 80 days. Go for an in-stock motor now rather than wait for the Genuine one, unless the Land Rover part is the only one you'll accept.

The Puma battery and Puma alternators for the same Defender are listed beside the starters.

Buying a Land Rover starter motor from Moss Rimmer

We ship worldwide.

If a part is faulty on first inspection or fitting, it can go back on our return form for up to 30 days. We test returned electrical parts before we refund or replace them, so one that tests fine isn't refunded under warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the common causes of starter motor problems in a Land Rover Defender?

Usually the battery, its terminals or the starter feed. A click with no cranking is common, and a failing Land Rover Defender starter motor solenoid can cause it. Test the battery and wiring first, before you blame the motor. Our warranty doesn't cover faults caused by other parts.

Is replacing a starter motor a big job?

Often not, for a handy owner. Land Rover Defender Puma starter motor removal starts with disconnecting the battery. Owners call the top nut the awkward one, as access is tight. Read the Puma part of your workshop manual first.

What are the most common faults with the Land Rover Defender?

Owners mention rust on the chassis and rear crossmember. Clutch hydraulics and carbon build-up in the emissions system of later 2.2 TDCi engines come up too, and our Puma Defender range covers parts that wear, from the clutch to the cooling system.

Can I drive with a faulty starter motor?

Maybe, but you risk being stuck at the next stop. The starter only gets the engine going, so a running Defender may carry on but a stalled one may not restart. Fix it soon and fit one of our Puma starter motors before your next long trip.
