Hello!
My 2000 disco td5 is not starting all of sudden. After switching off the immobilizer with the key fob, turning the key in the ignition nothing happens. From what I can tell battery is charged. A mechanic checked the starter by manually cranking it and said it was not the starter. He disconnected the battery and after about twenty minutes reconnected it while also checking the electrical current in the ignition area (?), and then reconnected the battery after 20 minutes. It started! After about five or so ours, I went to start the car again, and the problem returned. Turning the key, nothing happens.
Suggestions on how to fix this would be great. Tough to find a good mechanic here in Kenya.
Thanks!
