Thanks for the helpful advice. It seems it was the battery as at the moment all seems well.

Yeah, i may well have one on stand by. but why start first time after a week then not again two days later. Maybe I should have taken for a decent drive.

Lol. I may need to invest in one of jump starts if this becomes a regular occurrence, although back to daily driving should sort...fingers crossed.

I do indeed. It was on charge but will see how this charge goes. Fortunately, I have other ways of getting around.

I have left it on just to be on the safe side. See how it goes after and hour or so.

So no issues with disconnection with regard to ECU or some such. Off to charge battery for a bit, so will keep you posted. Ticking noise? Electrics protesting? My trusty 90 could be left for weeks and start first time, but hardly any electrics to speak of. lol

Hello, I hope this isn't the start of feared issues. I went to start the D4 this morning. Normal procedure, pressed start button. Lots of clicking but no starting. Tried a few times, but had to leave it as was going out. Came back and tried again. Dead as dead now except for a constant high...

Well no dramas yet after a wet and windy drive. Nice to be in such a heavy vehicle in those side winds. A proper look in the daylight to set things such as the phone up.

Off to collect later. Exciting!!

As does my 90 despite the shakes , rattles and rolls.

Thank you.

I’m not too worried. We know the foibles of landys. What will be will be! And as you say. Who remembers the mundane? Having said that our Aygo is great.

Wow! You're.beginning to make me regret the purchase. Good job I have a range of spanners and knowledgeable friends.

I was trying to be positive. Lol. I have a 90 so a frequent visitor over in the Defender forum. Photos to follow, although i have some.

Well, ,a deal was done and having viewed many, with the help of your wise words, we are about to be the new owners of a v nice 10 plate Disco 4. I know. I know. What have we done? We could have bought a sensible 7 seater, but who needs sense? We loved our D2 so we plumbed a nice example, with...

I think steering clear is wise. Nice one in Stockport I may go and see next.

Point made! Sage words indeed!

All helpful thanks. Things seem to be pointing the way of the prop? Expensive? I assume this would readily be picked up by a decent mot garage. Vendor said he would check until sold nor put through mot

Many thanks for the valuable input. Interestingly i did notice that the steering wheel is off centre too, which would suggest one of your possible symptoms. Either way he was trying to persuade me that you would expect some vibration from a car with 133k miles. Really?? Neither my D1 or D2 had...

Sobering! Went to test drive the second one today. Suspension movement seemed a bit tardy but after a bit of jerking and slight clunking it seemed to work okay. Probably never been used...or does that spell symptoms of something else? It did go very well though until I booted and then backed...
