1989 Land Rover mileage: 95,000. Intermittent (though increasing) problem of very slow turning of engine. Sounds like failing battery but both battery and ignition ok. Any ideas?

Try a jump lead from earth on battery to engine block or body of starter motor. If engine spins quicker and start better then it is what ^^^ MHM ^^^ says.

Starter motor? burned solenoid contacts/worn bushes/ worn bearings/corroded contacts?
