    hi paul
    iv done 2 of these and it wasnt pleasent..
    one of them needed a new flywheel as the teeth were all mashed up. other was just a starter.
    it is possible to get the starter off with out removing the gear box, but you have to take off the downpipe, the turbo and the manifolds.
    allowing for rusty nuts , bleeding knuckles and nuts in impossible places, you should get it done in about 8 hrs.
    last time i priced a starter from jeep they wanted over £600
    if its really noisy, id change the starter and the flywheel togethor, otherwise u could end up putting another starter on for nothing after the shaft has snapped because of poor meshing of the teeth

    hope this hasnt put you off the job !!
