Starter motor?

Reggieroo:

--- Quote from: "Rossko" ---Is this wire wot was corroded, 'just a wire' or a damn thick thing that you can't hardly bend, like an earth cable should be? Or a flat braid (in a plastic sheath)? What colour is it?

If it was truly a thick earth cable, running a flimsy thin wire to battery neg will not be good enough to make it work.

It is just a thin wire, looks like it goes into a resistor that is attached to a little plate bolted where the coil bolts to the body.

Also on further inspection, it was on the positive connection on the coil so silly old me blew the fuse for the coil/ignition  :?

Reggieroo:
Done the starter now chaps, wasn't as easy as I thought though.

I could even get my arm in to undo the top bolt so I had to get my mate to come round & do it, then the second hand starter didn't work  :x

So that had to come out again & be tested which then worked  :?

Your guess is as good as mine on that one.

So thanks for all your help everyone.

Range Rover Blues:
So it's al sorted? as I was going to chip in that when my starter was playing up it was the starter relay which in my case was on the bulkhead behind the washer bottle.  I popper a fused relay in there so I can pull it out as a security measure (hell it took me ages to find the thing).

Reggieroo:
Security measure?

Do they try & nick these old things as well?

Somebody told me the other day that Land Rovers are the most nicked vehicles in the UK............I thought he was talking crap!

Look at the stickies in the General / Bar..... usually one a week  :cry:  :cry:
When you spent a fortune on accessories and some tyres @£100 each they soon add up in sellable extras / parts to the theiving gits
