Which starter motor?

Need to order a new starter motor but undecided what make?

New or remanufactured.

At moment Denso DSN1207 is my preferred choice but would welcome any experienced views

Denso is standard OE I think & typically last 10 years + (I might be jinxing ours at 13 yrs old).
I replaced the Denso on our Disco 2 a few years ago (probably 12 yrs old at the time) with a remanufactured 1 & it last just over 2 years. It's now got another Denso on & 3 years plus & going fine.
You've got to decide how long you're keeping the car & if you want the starter to outlast your ownership - lol. Decision then fairly straight forward. Paul,

There appear to be several versions..based on pictures some have a solid brass bar connection from solenoid to silver (aluminium?} starter body, cheaper versions have a braided, insulated copper connection and a black body.

Anybody know if one is better?

I replaced mine with an OEM Denso that was identical to the one I took off.

Got it for a good price from Opie.
