Hi,picked up a 110 this week,now it wont start,oh joy,sounds like an earthing fault.have put three differant batteries on and have also tried to jump start from two other landies,not at the same time,and still it wont go!It still sounds as if the battery is flat,it just wont turn over enuf.Any ideas?Cheers.

Cud be,it turns over briefly then gets slower and slower then nowt.The lumps a nissan 3.3 turbo.I had a similar fault on my 90 and that was a dodgy earth,looks like im going to be scratching about 2mrw.

have you tried putting the earth jump lead on the engine somewhere rather than on the battery?

check yer earth connection to the starter then take a jump lead from +ve on battery direct to +ve terminal on the starter and see how she swings. if does the same, buy yerself a new starter mate

Thanks very much,checked all earths,still had fault so took off starter and found bushes were sticking.Spent an hour stripping it down and cleaning.Hey Presto away she goes.
