I have a Mark 1 1997 2.5 tdi. Intermediate starting problem, turn key starting motor solenoid click but no start. Not the starting motor as I have had a new one fitted, battery and connections good. Suggestions please.

Morning, thanks for that suggestion WD the key ignition, worked it about several times connected the battery and no free running of starter and up she fired. That was a new one on me. These old ladies are high maintenance! Thanks for that. Richard

Thanks for that I will check it out.

While connecting a recharged battery the starting motor came on in free spin. I took off the live lead and it stopped. There was no key in ignition. Help please.

Hi, I've just joined and I need some help with my two litre Mark 1 Discovery. I've just put my recharged battery back in the vehicle and when putting the battery terminals on, the starting motor runs on free spin until I take off the battery lead. Any suggestions please.
