my disco wont start help
robert francis:
hi al, my disco 200tdi has been a lazy starter for a while, i took the starter off and took it to be reconed, and they said it was fine, but it was still lazy. i just tried to start it and it just clicks, has the starter dead and can i get it running to move it, cheers
ben_haynes:
is it hard to start all through the day or is it just first thing?
knackered glow plugs, low battery, poor connection to battery or starter
robert francis:
hi, its hard in the morning or after a short run, but will still start after leaving it a few days normally. its a yellow top battery and been fine only a couple of years old, the glow plugs are about 3 months old and the connections were all ok and cleaned when i took starter off 2 montha ago, my battery tester says the batterys ok. ?
robert francis:
when i started it this morning i was suprised it started 1 turn, just went to start it i clicks, ive put a snap on starter pack on it and it still just clicks
ben_haynes:
have you checked continuity of the battery cables to the Starter, and check all your earths are free from Corrosion and are connecting correctly
