Hi there everyone, I am Richard.
I have owned land rovers since I was a 20 year old student and drove one to Dubrovnik and back with a group of friends. I am now 68
Have never had any real problems until I purchased a 2004 4 Litre V8, with 8K on clock. Have replaced just about everything including the engine at 40K.
Having just had another very large bill for Majicor leads, 3 x Coil Packs (yes 3), plugs and various other items, which the "system" said it required to get the lights to go out on the dashboard, it went like I expected a V8 to go. Wonderful.
Saturday I decided to use it to uproot a tree, which I have done previously. Would not start at all, or turnover. Went and purchased a new battery, no difference.
Has anyone any ideas in addition to the following:
1. If I keep locking and unlocking the doors, eventually it will kick in and start. Actually did after something like 15 attempts. Ran it for a while, turned it off happy! Has refused to start since.
2. Tap the solenoid - cannot see it to tap - will this work? not a good idea
3. Get new solenoid, comes complete with starter?
4. Get current one repaired - where
