Genuine Hitachi Starter Motor TD42 Diesel 4.2L 12v - Nissan Patrol GQ GU This starter motor is mounted to the engine block, engaging with the flywheel to crank and start your vehicle's TD42 diesel engine. It is a crucial component responsible for turning the engine over upon ignition. A replacement is necessary when your original starter motor fails due to age, wear on internal components like brushes and bearings, or electrical faults in the solenoid. If a failing starter motor isn't replaced, you'll likely experience slow cranking, a single clicking noise, or no response at all when you turn the key. Ultimately, a complete failure will leave you stranded and unable to start your vehicle, often at the most inconvenient time.
