gtomo2:
new starter and new battery. what amps are you getting when turning the engine over. Also has been knowen for new batterys to have fauilt plates so not giving out full power

chris9119:
Have you tried bypassing the ignition system....., i.e. run cable from battery to solenoid with ignition on and see if it turns over/starts...., if that works then it could be the ignition relay/circuit   :!:  :idea:

Range Rover Blues:
Also try reading the battery voltage whilst cranking.

nigel purnell:
Yes i have by passed the ign system no joy however i think a cable is breaking down under load   How do i measure the amps when the starter is cranking over???
