300 Series Defender Starting problem

Bob the beast · Aug 17, 2019

Hi everyone, ok not sure I am using this correctly yet.
I have a 1998 defender 300 series, great Landy runs like a dream.
Problem is periodically it will not start, once every 3 to 4 weeks.
I am thinking its something to do with the spider and just immobilizing itself.
However it will all ways start if i jump it from another car or push it and jump it (need a hill)
Any body have any ideas?

Welcome to the forum

Best to post in the defender section for the death help.

If it's immobilised then you won't start it at all as immobiliser is on the fuel pump

Intermittent problems are a nuisance as they are always hard to trace when you have the time and always occur when you are late or in a hurry lol

Welcome to the mad house.

You needs to slope off down the main menu to the 90/110/130 & Defender forum for all your technical queries.

We are just the welcoming committee

Thanks for the pointer I have posted in the Defender Forum now.
My thought exactly, If it's immobilized then you should not be able to jump start it.
