Happy days all
well one week into defender ownership and i have broken it
(300tdi sw 1994)
When i try to start the bugger there is a rapid loud clattery noise and vibration from the PRC 6913 (glow plug timer), I have bought a replacement one and is the same.
When I put the ignition on the clattering starts, the lights on the dash glow dimly until the clattering stops (approx 5-20 seconds) and then illuminate fully (except the orange one) when i turn the key to start nothing occurs.
I have tested the battery and that is fine, I have also been able to start with jump leads. Although on way home on mway it cut out and restarted before I could pull onto hard shoulder, which was fun!
any ideas ppl? (i have already given it a good thrashing with a stick. but that didnt work, although it cheered me up no end)
