Did a quick trip to the recycling centre yesterday, after all the work I have done, the Range Rover was running beautifully.
Emptied the boot of rubbish and got back in, turned the key and all I could hear was the sound of the starter solenoid clicking!
Had to get a push to get the RR out of the recycling centre, hoping that a bit of movement would somehow free up the starter motor / solenoid, it didn't.
Rang the wife and she came and towed me home!!!
I tried whacking the solenoid/motor with a lump hammer and it started so I got it straight up on the ramps.
Got the motor off, it's a bit of a bugger to get at the upper bolt
It would go on a Bank Holiday weekend.
Starter motor on order from Island 4X4, hope it comes quickly!
There's not much left to change now on this motor so it should be reliable soon........
