Hi,
Just joined your wonderful site and really need some advice.
We bought a H reg defender 90 200 tdi late last year up until a few months ago everything was running perfect. On the way back from a week in wales (some cracking off roading!) engine started to over heat, the fan belt knacked up so AA was called and they fitted a new one.
That appeared to sort the problem but then a few weeks after this it developed a starter problem. When the engine is turned it makes a noise which sounds like a whir/machine gun.
We took the starter out connected it to the battery and all seemed well soleniod activated and gearing spun up. So we gave it a good clean and put it back in only to be faced with the same problem.
Any ideas on what to try next?? We're running out of ideas!
