Hi all im a defender owner who has just become the owner or a 1981 diesel series 3 (a freebie off someone i know) .its been sat for 4 years. tryed to start it a couple of weeks back and had nothing so i whipped off the starter motor cleaned up and checked it with jump leads , worked a treat !!
Refitted it and tried to turn it over today -Nothing !!! The only thing i get is a clicking on the dash from a silver looking box ( may be a relay)
What im not sure of is what this box is ,and if the problem is that the solenoid on the side of the starter motor isnt getting any power to it so not powering up the starter motor.
Am i right in thinking that the last postion on the key turn should power the solenoid? With a half turn after this heating the glow plugs?
Any help would be good this is new to me !!
