I changed the alternator slow blow fuse and problem solved :D

Oops sorry didn't realise :der::der::der::der:

Sorry yes it's a discovery 300tdi. The main fuse under the bonnet, I changed the alternator and the earth and live feed touched causing the fuse to blow :o and its been since then everything stopped working, will the blow alternator fuse stop the lights, wipers and washer from working? Also the...

After changing a seized alternator the main fuse popped! But now my headlights, side lights, fog lights all the lights really except indicators, window wipers, washers all stopped working! Could this be a result of the popped fuse (Sunday and there's no motorist discounts open today ,they're...

After getting my 300 tdi es auto running after a 6 hour head scratch its finally running nice but my god arnt they gutless! I had a 300tdi manual and that could shift. I read a thread a couple of day's ago about turning the turbo up but now I can't find it! How do I search threads or is it a...

If that doesn't work put your transfer box in n and gearbox in n too just in case it is sticking in gear

I've just had the same problem. Check to make sure your alternator hasn't seized sounds daft but it puts resistance on the belt and more strain on the starter motor causing it not to turn over. ive just fixed mine today after 6 hours of head scratching! Or simply slip the aux belt off (dont...

I know tell me about it! I only noticed because a friend tried starting it and by off chance I was looking at the alternator! The strain on the belt was causing stress on the starter motor causing it to turn ovee very slowly

Aftet 6 hours of head scratching its alive!!! Turns out it was a seized alternator! Thanks for all the help lads:banana:

Ignition wire?

Its not doing any of the above its just turning over very slowly

Ive had the starter motor off and had the jump leads on it and seemed ok but it could it just be a weak starter? Ive also had the jump leads direct onto it when it was on the car.... it turns ovet just very slowly so could it still be a dodgy startet motor ( its also turned over more than 1 full...

Transfet box is in neutral but still no joy. Am I rite in thinking if the engine was seized it wouldn't turn over at all?

If I can turn the engine slightly on the crankshaft it cant be seized can it? Also the engine turns over just really slow on the starter motor?
