I'd enquire on the wrecker starter too. Likely it could be bad.
The check Duncan has mentioned too, is also a great point to look at.
If it was a wrecker engine too, it could be bad, OR it could have an issue such as being hydro locked.
Pull all of the glow plugs out, and see if it will turn over. (I'm assuming that LDV motor has glow plugs).
While I agree I'd start with a bad earth connection issue....I also reckon a new to the car/second hand starter is also cause for suspicion. Can you test it out of the car with a pair of jumper leads?
Also, if could be neither....does the engine turn over OK via the crank bolt? It could be an assembly issue and the starter is trying too hard as a result
Yeah for sure, that is a bullet dodged! The hoses into the filter often get mangled when the filter is changed, so a couple of bucks changing them both is money well spent
