  :angry: :shock: can anyone shed some light please, ive just changed the starter motor on my dads discovery N reg 300 tdi as the old one was sticking constantly and wouldnt turn the engine over when it did catch on the key, now were having the same problem. Initialy the battery was flat and had to jump it off my disco all was well on and off couple of times and all was dandy but now as i say it wont fire just that annoying clicking noise any help would be appreciated

many thanks keith

Banjo:
Make sure the earth is ok ,try putting a jump lead from the bat neg to the block.
 

peasey:
How long have you charged the battery for and how long has it been flat?I reckon if you give it a good overnight charge things should all be well again.If its been flat for weeks and you have just jumped it to get it going chances are the alternater hasnt had long enough to bring it back up to fully charged.It takes alot out of the battery starting it over and over to check things out.Have you checked the voltage at the terminals running and off?The cold weather does them no favours either and if left flat for a while(how long I cant say as im no expert) it can [!Expletive Deleted!] them altogether.

muddyjames:
I would LOVE to reply Kieth but I am afraid as my Disco is my only mode of transport at the moment I can't risk making you jealous I am afraid.  :lol:

wrecker:
id say a dirty or wrongly fitted earth
