All rover V8 starters are the same except the rover 3500/sd1 starter casting places the solenoid pointing down IIRC and its not sealed like a rangie one but the solenoid will fit as i got a sd1 starter from the wreckers just for the solenoid.

i found the end of the solinoid was diffrant where it engauged the throw out lever but that can be changed except the solinoid its self did not mount on to the starter the same as the rangie the only things i found the same was where it bolts to the gear box and the tooth count and pitch on the pinion gear
