Over the last couple of days I have gone to my Disco and it wont start. The pig tail on the dash doesn't appear and it just clicks. I take the key out and try again sometimes it starts and others it takes two or three further attempts. Sometimes it starts straight away. Ideas???

Just clicking is usually starter solenoid engaging but insufficient power to turn the starter motor.

Usual suspects are poor battery, poor main +ve feed connection or poor earth from battery to chassis/engine

look to see if theres a loose connection on the starter but you may well need one of theses

Td5?common on them is the contacts in the starter solenoid burn out,you can buy a repair kit from the likes of paddocks ,island 4x4 etc,simple to fix ,you have to remove starter motor though but a lot cheaper than a replacement
