It is a new unit with a pad mount starter design, 2kW power rating, and a 12-tooth pinion arrangement, so the key physical and electrical details are already defined before you compare it to the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis starter motor suits Autolite units and carries a note that it is not interchangeable with MXS2001 or MXS2002. Important dimensions include a 10mm mount hole diameter, 90mm mount centres A, 77mm nose cone length, 255mm overall length, 39mm pinion diameter, and a 43mm pinion at rest measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOEX lists this unit as part of its rotating electrical range, supplied new and backed by a 3yr passenger \/ 1yr commercial warranty. It is a 3.94kg starter motor sold each, which helps when checking handling, mounting style, and replacement parity against the original unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause starter motors are often selected by multiple matching points rather than one visual check, the safest approach is to compare the part number AXS979, the 12V electrical specification, the 12-tooth CW configuration, and the Autolite style against the vehicle application before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V starter motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-tooth pinion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClockwise rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutolite style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad mount starter type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: OEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: AXS979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Starter motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotation: CW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of teeth: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower rating: 2kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarter mount type: Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKnown application groups\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Transit 2000 to 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand Rover Defender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand Rover Defender 1990 to 1999 and 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand Rover Freelander 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand Rover Range Rover Evoque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication and Buying Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore fitting, confirm the part number AXS979 and compare the mounting arrangement to the original starter motor. The critical checks here are the pad mount design, 10mm mount hole diameter, 90mm mount centres A, 77mm nose cone length, and the 255mm overall length, because starter motors can look similar while differing in mounting and body dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electrical specification is equally important. This unit is 12V, clockwise rotation, and rated at 2kW, with 12 teeth and a 39mm pinion diameter. If the vehicle’s original starter uses a different rotation direction, tooth count, or mounting pattern, it should not be treated as a direct match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a clear interchange warning: this starter motor is not interchangeable with MXS2001 or MXS2002. That makes the application details and the original part reference especially useful when ordering for Ford Transit or the listed Land Rover applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop or fleet use, the warranty is 3yr passenger \/ 1yr commercial, which is helpful context when selecting the right replacement for different duty cycles. As with any starter, make sure the battery condition, cable integrity, and engine earths are in good order before blaming the replacement unit for a starting problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number AXS979 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelevant published details for this unit include Type STARTER MOTOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial, Mount Hole Diameter 10, Number of Teeth 12, Pinion at Rest 43mm, Power Rating 2kW, Suits Unit Make Autolite, Note Not interchangeable with MXS2001 or MXS2002, Starter Mount Type Pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional published details for cross-checking include Weight 3.94kg, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. AXS979, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 12Th CW Autolite Style, Mount Centres A 90mm, Nose Cone Length 77mm, Overall Length 255mm, Pinion Diameter 39mm, Rotation CW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOEX Starter Motor 12V 12Th CW Autolite Style. Part number AXS979 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor part number AXS979, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable application references include FORD TRANSIT, FORD TRANSIT 2000, FORD TRANSIT 2001, FORD TRANSIT 2002, LAND ROVER DEFENDER, LAND ROVER DEFENDER 1990. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confirm fitment by matching the part number AXS979, the 12V 12-tooth clockwise Autolite style configuration, and the listed mounting dimensions against the vehicle application before purchase.
