Hi everyone! I wonder if you can help me.
My 2.5 na diesel defender has recently developed a fault, which I have not experienced until now.
I will try to explain, a few days ago when warming the glow plugs on the defender I heard what sounded like a crackling noise coming from the fuse box. I understand there is normally one click as the fuse engages. But this sounded like lots of crackling clicks, and have never heard it before. Anyway, I started the engine, it then ran for 2 seconds, then died. Second time I started it, it ran then cut out 2 miles down the road.
Just drove home from work, and the truck cut out three or four times on the way back. With me needing to restart the car whilst on the move.
After it restarts it appears to be fine, until it mysteriously kills the engine again.
I have taken the fuse box cover off. The crackling noise is coming from the two metal plug in fuses (?) below the regular fuses.
I apologise about my lack of knowledge, I am only just learning about mechanics and vehicle electrics.
Any suggestions would be great! Cheers guys
