Hi to all
I have a x reg v6 freelander which has a starting problem, it started with the starter motor just clicking when you turned the key so i purchassed new brushes and everything went ok for a week then hey presto back to starting fine but when engine was hot it would not start till it cooled down, but sometimes if you wiggled the key it would start, so i bought a new starter motor and fiotted it in and it would still not start, someone said it was the ignition switch so i just fitted one of them and it still wont crank at all. If i put a wire from the spade connector straight to the battery it cranks over, with the ignition switch on or off, so now im really miffed, have checked all the fuses, changed the relays over in the fuse box and the engine fuse box but to no avail, however i have noticed the wire around the ignition key is lose and became unwound, i know this is the immobiliser wire but they are intact, the central locking still works with the key both in locking and unlocking, all the windows and electics work inside the car si i assume the immobiliser is ok, can anyone recommend what to do as i cant tow the car as its automatic and four wheel drive, im really stuck
Any advise is more than welcome
