Disco failing to start - turning over slowly!!

<< < (2/2)

Disco-andy:
If you have the problem , put a decent jump lead from the (- battery) to the block some were, and try, if its sorts it its the earth. Normal fault on on 300 tdi,

ironarm:
i had this problem recently with mine (94 disco 300tdi),  changed the starter and made it slightly better for a short term but turned out to be the battery in the end,  i did charge it but that worked only for a bit.  i then checked the acid and that was low strength so i made more and re newed the acid.   then set battery charger to trickle charge over the next couple of days - think it was a 4amp trickle.  thats what i was advised - lower trickle rather than fast charge will benifit the battery.  so might be worth checking the acid strength if u have a battery that u can get to the cells???

hobbit:
Agreed as above if the battery is fully charged drop a jump lead from the battery neg to the engine direct, and pray :)

I checked my battery showed good and holding charge.On the car it either turned over slowly or quick for a few seconds then died.New battery its been fine.The old battery is now on my 2 1/4 Petrol .It works fine there.
