OEX Starter Motor 12V 10 Tooth CW Bosch Style BXS0178

The OEX Starter Motor BXS0178 is a 12V unit with a 10 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation and a Bosch-style suitment profile. It is a new starter motor with a 1.1kW power rating, a 2 hole starter mount, and a dry clutch setup, so the physical dimensions and mounting pattern matter when matching it to the vehicle.

Key dimensions include 115mm mount centres A, 75mm mount centres C, 68mm mount centres B, a 56mm flange diameter, and an overall length of 196.5mm. The mount hole diameter is 10.5mm, the pinion diameter is 28mm, and the pinion at rest is -7mm, all of which are useful checkpoints when comparing against the existing starter.

This part is listed as suitable for Land Rover Freelander 2 applications, with sample applications shown across 2006 through 2014. Because starter motors can vary by engine, transmission, and build date, the part number BXS0178 and the measured mounting details should be checked carefully against the vehicle already on hand.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the existing starter motor to BXS0178 on the key physical checks: 12V system, 10 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, 2 hole mount, and the listed dimensions of 115mm, 75mm and 68mm mount centres, plus the 56mm flange diameter and 196.5mm overall length. These are the sorts of details that usually decide whether a starter will bolt up and engage correctly.

The part is described as Bosch style and suits unit make Bosch, but that should not be treated as a blanket guarantee without checking the vehicle application and the old unit. A starter that looks close can still differ in mounting ears, pinion position, or depth, so the mount hole diameter of 10.5mm and the -7mm pinion at rest are practical comparison points.

Warranty coverage is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That gives a useful guide on intended application, but it does not replace proper identification of the starter already fitted. If the vehicle has been modified, or if the current starter is not the original Bosch-style unit, the part number and measurements become even more important.

For Land Rover Freelander 2 vehicles, the supplied applications run from 2006 through 2014. Use that only as a guide and still confirm the exact fit against the vehicle details and the starter itself, because application listings can cover more than one engine or build variation.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number BXS0178 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 10Th CW Bosch Style. Part number BXS0178 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number BXS0178, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2, LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 2006, LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 2007, LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 2008. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment with the part number BXS0178, the Bosch-style application, and the recorded mounting and electrical specifications before ordering. Do not rely on the vehicle name alone; check the existing starter’s 12V setup, 10 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, 2 hole mount, and dimensions against the part supplied.
