:(Hi,
New to this site but i am looking for some advice
My Defender TD5 (53 reg) wont start,when I turned key,it just gave a clicking sound ,then nothing
My lights ,radio ect. are all working,dont want to buy a new starter motor without some advice.
Also happy xmas to all members,and a prosperous new year.
Thanks in advance for any advice
Cheers:D
 
Hae you tried hitting the starter motor with lump hammer? This often resolves any issues with sticking contacts, etc. in the solenoid and starter, don't hit it to the extent you're going to break things, but, a good hit with a hammer normally resolves a lot of starter motor issues.

Failing that, double check your battery, a flat battery wold prevent the starter from working.

And... hello... happy Christmas to you too :)
