Disco wont start-help!

(1/3) > >>

2 the max:
When i go to start the engine, i get nothing except a fairly high pitched whirring sound.
Was doing this last week too but on 2nd try it would start straight away, now nothing. Anyone know what this could be and how much to get it fixed as it is currently stuck in swainsthorpe 25 miles away from home :@

crazymac:
Sounds like your solenoid isn't engaging the starter?

Try thumping the starter with a lump of wood then try it as its probably just a bit sticky!!

You will probably need to replace the starter soon.

J.D.:
If you are getting a noise which sounds like something is spinning, it sounds like the cog from the starter is not firing out to engage with the flywheel and is instead spinning in the nose of the starter.

wizard:
Certainly sounds like you need a new starter motor.
wizard :twisted:

Ok cheers people, anyone know how much one of these will be to buy and fit (roughly)? I am a 4x4 newbie, rubbish at mechanics too so will be getting a garage to fit.
