Me disco wont start!
Yoshi:
Cheers guys i will look at that tomorrow.
In answer to the clicking, its a single click inside the cab, not the continous clicking you get if there isnt enough battery power etc.......
Also it has been making a noise when the engine has started, almost like the starter still runs for a second after firing.

starter pinion has siezed up onto its shaft, mine doest it all the while...every 2 months or so
remove the starte and free it off on the shaft, i use wd40 at first to free it by hitting it with a hammer and screwdriver then as it frees of i use a battery on the starter
then when its nice and free i stick some copper slip onto the shaft :lol: :lol: ( no bright ideas mike :roll: :lol: )
and that'll cure it

Could be the starter relay clicking in the cab.
They suffer with imobiliser problems.
This is an easy fix :wink:
FlagonSlayer:
Sounds like it could well be a problem with the spider immobiliser - had the same thing/symptoms on mine. Trouble is it tends to be intermittent and can then finally pack up altogether which means either replacing it or, better still, fitting a replacement bypass harness.
It is a bit of a swine to get to though on a Discovery - but have a look at this link.... spidys
Yoshi:
Cheers for that, but i found another couple of problems, first i couldnt locate the starter motor on the engine, second there was no actual relay plugged into the yellow relay holder or the one next to it (there are 4, 1 has one in 2 and 3 dont but 4 does), but outside on the bulkhead in the engine bay there is a relay PRC6913.
So at this point i am kinda stuck as i cant check a relay that isnt there! lol
