I bought her from mid wales last week and that was over 120miles on the older battery. Tbh no I haven’t but next time I get her running I’ll pop the multimeter on her👍🏻

Can it be done on the ground?

So the battery fits and to my suprise started the car, however the first crank sounded laboured as before. I took her out for a 5 mile drive and she was perfect. Got home, turned her off and then tried to restart her. Didn’t want to start. She did crank but it was really slow and the starter...

Something like this?

I’ll get searching for an AGM one 👍🏻

Doesn’t make a difference that mine doesn’t have Stop/Start?

What battery is correct for D4 ?

So update, I’ve ran a cable from the negative battery pole to the starter body and still nothing. I’d attach the video of what you can hear but don’t think I can upload it. For now I’ve removed the battery and will take it to the Battery suppliers to check if it’s good or bad

Is the solenoid in the engine bay or inside the car? Just checking where to listen to👍🏻

Also when I did the crank test on the Telwin (whilst it didn’t crank) the cranking capacity only showed 1 bar out of 3. In videos I’ve seen the cranking capacity bars hit 3 and say “ok”

So with the battery test on this is what I spotted. When trying to start the car the battery dropped to 1/2 bars out of 4 (see pic)

So I did the test.. not a lot happened and it didn’t say “battery okay” but I did notice this…..

So voltage before was 12.6volts, when we pressed the start button it dropped to just under 12volts with no cranking at all

Thank you, Will do, however when I press the start button now she won’t even crank, I assume the poor battery CCA could cause this. Would putting a multi meter on the battery whilst pressing the start button still register a drop in volts I even if it doesnt want to turn over?

So my Multimeter says the battery has 12.8v but I’ve previously experienced a battery that charges but is still duff and won’t crank a car. Being new to D4’s I’m a bit stumped. The Earth strap on the OS has been replaced and battery terminals look tight. I’m at a bit of a loss as all day...

I’ve not removed to be able to tell yet but I’d assume so. I can only find one battery on the NSF side of the engine bay. The OSF part of the bay doesn’t have a stop start battery.

Hi Folks, My discovery 4 HSE (2009 non stop/start)has a battery issue I think. I’ve not owned her long and when starting her the first crank always sounds laboured. I’ve charged the battery with my Telwin evo charger and whilst it said the battery was charged, starting still sounded laboured...

Sounds silly but how long does it flash for? I’ve waited a few minutes and it still is flashing :(

Folks, When I start my TD5 from cold for the first Second or two, she runs, but barely, and sometimes stalls. after a couple of seconds, she’s completely normal and drives perfect, for that first couple of seconds it feels like a lack of fuel as I can’t rev her. It’s not a major issue however it...

So when servicing my I discovery today the sump plug struggled to come out and basically whoever serviced her last has damaged the thread and put it in hand tight. Before I have to fit a new sump I want to try a repair kit. Any off the shelf suggestions please? many thanks ben
