Hi All first post and as usual its a cry for help

I have 2002 td6 and it has developed a problem put the key to position 1 and a whole load of the electrics pulse on/off try to crank and you sometimes get a slight click but that's it!

The battery is good and fully charged (my first thought) , then i did a bit of research on this site (and others ) & it would appear there were a few possibility's

1. starter motor, I had one of these so thought i would just swop this over and then i can eliminate this as a possibility. done and no change

2. Ignition switch, is there any way of testing this? method etc

3. Gearbox position inhibitor switch so have tried in neutral, park shake it all about, no change

is there anything that could be inhibiting the system?

i have taken what is probably not a very good video of the symptoms so you can see whats occurring see this link Strange Rover Photos by Batpooh | Photobucket

any help and advice would be really welcome and thank you in advance

RAVE MANUAL or get it plugged into diagnostic

Ignition switch would be my bet.

Pulsing electrics sounds like a faulty ignition switch

Does wobbling the key in the switch help at all ?

Fraid not nothing seems to make any difference if i could get some form of variation to the symptoms it would at least give me a clue

but no

any luck getting it started yet?

I noticed in the video that the oil light on your dash was also flashing? Ive not seen that before.

Where are you based?
