My basket | L. R. Series Any good?

Hit the starter with a hammer via something long enough to reach! it will fire straight up as you have freed the spring on the solonoid,....you still need to fix it with the repair kit or new starter but if you hit it hard enough it works every time ..honest try it.

ok hit starter with hammer and long bar! starts like it used too now, first time will replace the solonoid parts at some point......end of thread thanks to all

Hit starter motor with long bar and large hammer....all works lovely now! Will get one of those solonoid fix kits though just in case.

ok ive got it, its on the starter...bloody great!

Just fitted a second hand filter head, lovely no leaks now....all went too well though as when i tried to turn over there was nothing,,didly squat..battery is charged , jumped start fine but nothing from ignition, am thinking starter solonoid??? just can't find it!

Hi Can someone tell me where to find the starter solonoid on a yr 2000 td5 i know from 2002 they put them at the end of the fuse box but where is it on a year 2000? Ta

Thanks, checked with our local independant and discovered that on a td5 they work out at £268 + vat!! (even Steve at Jsf was surprised and double checked) So did a run of emails on ebay to folks breaking td5 s and have found one locally for £40, picking it up tomorrow, so fingers crossed...

Injector seals maybe ok for now! just got a mate to have a look and he scraped off all the crap on the fuel filter head and there is a rather large piece missing from the casting on the nearest (tank end) pipe. Now all the crap is removed rather a large leak too, we suspect this only started...

right thanks for that...gen filter ,power etc is all fine so maybe injector seal will have a word with mechy thanks for your trouble your a star

It turns over at the same speed, bit more diesel smoke than normal, and the really strange thing is the time it takes to fire varies from relatively quick an hour a go to nearly 40 seconds just now.... and nearly not at all at sainsburys earlier!

No it sounds fine, did wonder about that myself, there is a lot of oily crap on the chassis near the fuel filter is that just normal for a 110, its been there fore a while by the look of it! Also makes no differance if engine is warm still slower to start than it was...Thanks for your time Ratty

just going for a listen......

My defender Td5 70000 miles w reg, used to start on the button, but has been getting worse since a service, including fuel filter, it had 2 wks ago, mentioned this to mechanic and he started talking about injectors. It does nt miss a beat once started and is still starting eventually but takes...

Looking at buying a sankey trailer for my landrover, current trailer is a 4 wheel but the hitch is so low my landy turns it into a 2 wheel trailer! I have the combination tow hitch on my defender the one with the pin as well as the ball, can i use the pin to attach a sankey trailer? or do i...
