Thanks for the link, and for the info - really appreciate a reccomendation.

Will certainly use them in the near future, and tell them you gave me their details (if they speak English

Thanks again to everyone.

Freelander is working fine(ish) ... watch this space

That seems specific to the 2 ltr TD and the TD4. Will that work on the Freelander 1.8 Kalahari Petrol?

Edit: The item description actually states "Please note this kit does not repair the petrol version starter motor" .

... I thought something as bad as that. The click really is loud. If I 'tapped' it with a hammer, would that help me get to the garage?

I thought that maybe as the fob was playing up, it was an immobiliser problem ... 79p battery and all my troubles would be over. Bugger.

I only bought it a week ago - would the garage have been able to hide this? I mean, I started it a few times, and no problems.

Thanks for the quick reply and your help.

saves the price of a new one

I dont know about the Freelander starter motor but the solenoid on TD5 Defender is easy to remove and requires little more than contacts cleaning

not even the price of a kit....

I had the same early summer this year, been running no probs that day for approx 200km, parked it and had to move it - then same symptoms you describe. One call to the garage we use all the time, then a lift to the nearest car parts shop one new battery & 25000 forints lighter, problem solved. Sounds yours is/was more fun.
