did you get to the bottom of the problem??, im stuk with the same problem, changed starter motor, still the same, just a click from solenoid and relay, isnt the earth cos i took direct from battery, any ideas please

done some investigations and lights do dim when key is turned, cable from bat neg tp starter motor makes no differnce so isnt the earth!! starter motor and solenoid are new any ideas please!!

its a brand new starter motor and the one i took off was doing the same, so i dont think it can be the starter motor contacts or the solenoid switch contacts (are they part of the starter motor part), still scratching my head and still off the road!

nb thinking mayb its something to do with the annoying ecu/ecs thingy, have noticed a bit of oil inside red plug under the seat, is it possible that it has something to do with it all, ps didnt buy a landy to have weird computer probs, thought it would be mechanic friendly but to be honest...

theres no clicking, the yellow relay inside makes a click noise and i can hear a clunk from starter motor (solenoid) but no repeated clicking, will check that the fly lead is live in the morning, is that the thin wire with connector or the big thick one attached by a bolt?? thanks for the help

Hi there, have been having starter probs on my td5 defender for a while now, takes 10-15 turns of the key before it starts, finally it wont start at all!! have fitted new starter motor and i have the same problem!!! i have cleaned up all leads, connectors, still nothing!! Im guessing it cud be...

thanks for the reply fuel filter was from Paddocks and is a Britpart! I have checked that no old seals are left in there. fuel pump is fairly noisy but has been for ages will check ECU plug today Thanks again steve

pretty sure it has nothing to do with filters, someone has suggested i should change the injector harness, does this sound like good advice???

I'm running out of fingers and toes to count the problems I have had with my TD5 Defender. Last week I changed the fuel filter (have rechecked seals etc) and air filter- admittedly I did forget to plug back the electrical sensor on the air intake for 3 days. Since then,(coincidence or not) I...

Thanks guys, I suspected as much, it is fairly straightforward to do? Is there aning I should know, or not do? Thanks again

oh yeah, forgot to mention, even when engine not on, still pours out! does this fit in with your theory! thanks again

Is there anywhere else it could be leaking from around there? Its not where the rubber pipe joins the cover, tis difficult to see exactly, I'm sure I read that if it leaks from that hole, it means the pump is dead!

Aha, is the bearing seal about 6-8cm in diameter? Does that mean I just need to replace that seal? I suppose only Landrover sell them? I tried instant gasket but didnt make any difference Thanks for your reply

I have been reading similar threads on water pump problems. Is there any advice out there, I am living 1100 metres altitude and am scared of freezing my landy, water ****ing out and cannot keep pouring in buckets of anti freeze, need to go to Landrover tomorrow if cant get advise, dont want to...

Maybe I just bought a bad un but I have had endless problems with my Td5 110 Defender, starting to get annoying. Anyway, rant over, I was wondering if anyone can help me with the latest problem. I have been losing water for a while, I finally found out where it was coming from, I think its the...

Hi there I have got an annoying dribble from my power steering box (td5), it got more annoying the other day when I had to do a tricky manoeuvre and it spat out lots more than a dribble. Anybody know what the problem might be? Or is it easy to remedy? or is it another take to Land Rover and...

Yup, pretty sure alignment of pulleys etc and belt is good, there is no bulb to blow in battery warning light on dash, but if alternator wasnt working there should be a battery warning light on, I'm sure its all connected. There has been some earthing / bad wiring issues with this vehicle in the...

Evening all, I have a year 2000 td5 defender with what i thought was a knackered alternator! For about 2 weeks, battery warning light was flashing on and off (occasionally) I realised battery wasnt being charged (voltmeter on battery), checked the obvious, spoke to landrover, they said it was...

Morning Have opened the green 10as ecu unit, no obvious sign of damage, I thought I would be looking for fuse but I guess by looking at it, that it either works or doesnt! You say it acts as an engine immobiliser, is that all it does? There are lots of wires connected. Are there any tests I...

thanks for the reply, interesting! I did take dash off to look at back of ignition and did see that green box, didnt know what it was for. Makes sense though, I hope you are right! I spoke to a friend of mine who is a lot more experienced than me with Landys , although he has no experience...
