hi guys
ive got a m plate v8 disco and for some time i have had an intermittent problem with my starter(or atleast i think its my starter).
i put the key in turn the ignition,all lights come on and turn it to crank but nothing happens..if i leave it held in the crank position for anything up to 3 mins it sometimes turns over.sometimes i get in it and it starts straight away.i have checked all connections on starter and they seem ok.the live battery feed has the nuts up tight but the stud moves slightly im not sure if this is meant to do this.the battery is good.
could it be a problem with a possible immobiliser?? i have no aftermarket one fitted but did the discos have them at that age?
i hope someone can shed some light as the next thing outta the toolbox is a hammer.. cheers lads
