    300 TDi starter motor problems

    I get the same results when I swap the relays around. Whichever one is closest to the clutch pedal flashes green when the car does not start but does not flash when the starter does finally go.

    300 TDi starter motor problems

    Just took the fuse cover off and checked the relay. There is two identical ones side by side. When I turn the ignition on and try to start the engine, the solenoid clicks and the relay nearest the clutch pedal flashes green (maybe yellow, im colourblind :D) but the starter motor does not spin...

    300 TDi starter motor problems

    Well I have cleaned and checked all cables, and ran a new earth from battery to bottom of starter but the symptoms are still the same. Try to start and the solenoid clicks but the starter does nothing. It always goes after 4-5 tries but I take it my starter is shafted :mad:

    300 TDi starter motor problems

    Ok found that one and gave it a good clean up. All seems to be ok with it. Is there anymore as some of the pics I have looked at seem to have an earth lead going from the bottom nut on the starter motor going somewhere or is that just on disco's??

    300 TDi starter motor problems

    Stripped all the starter motor connections and battery connections down and have given them a good clean. Plenty of mud and rust on them. Every where I read says to check all the earth connections but I can not find any anywhere. Where should they be on a 300TDi defender?? There is...

    Home made rock sliders

    I agree. Maybe ok for sidesteps but would not take much of a bump to bend them on a tree or rock.

    300 TDi starter motor problems

    Not had time to look at this yet due to work but will have a good look over the weekend. It seems to start on the 4th turn of the key everytime, as in clicks for the first three times and then spins and starts on the 4th. Bit odd???

    300 TDi starter motor problems

    Seemed to have developed an intermittent fault with my starter motor. Quite often when I turn the key the solenoid clicks but the starter does not do anything. If I turn the key off and on again a few times (3 or 4) it does eventually spin up and start the engine. Does this sound like a...

    90 defender rebuild

    Was thinking of doing something similar with the rear seats myself. How do you find the legroom for the kids as they will have to put their feet up on the arch??

    Off set rims, wondering about something...

    That landy has mods on though which usually have a positive offset hence why you can get away with spacers. My 8 spoke steels have an offset of 0 and the tire tread sits perfectly with the outside of the arch with the tire wall sitting just outside.

    Off set rims, wondering about something...

    I have 265 -75/16's on 0 offset rims and they sit perfectly level with the outside of the arch. Any wider than that and you will need extended arches. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/members/adam1979-albums-my-90-picture12361-74703-10151599349532787-2043221859-n.html

    Wheel bearing help

    Also, I take it from reading on here that I do not want Britpart bearings and Timken are the best to go for?

    Wheel bearing help

    Cheers will have a look. What do I need for the job altogether as I have never done them before. Two bearing sets, hub nut box spanner and some swivel grease. Is that everything??

    Wheel bearing help

    Just found out both my front wheel bearings are gone so need to order some new ones. My 90 is a 1985 but has had engine, axles and gearbox from a 300 tdi fitted. Would these be the right bearings for the job?? LAND ROVER DEFENDER WHEEL BEARING KIT TIMKEN BEARINGS | eBay
