Wd40 the mechanism after removing the oval badge, worked for me.

Finally changed the contacts this moring - bloody weather. The hard to get to nut was missing so it wasnt so bad but still a pain in the arse. Is it vital to get a new nut? Anyway, still got the damn lights. Is my next stop an xyz switch? And if so is it a more difficult job than the starter...

Ive got a 1/2 & 1/4 set but not 3/8. Can i get to it with either of them or shall i buy a 3/8 set?

Thanks, as you say, cheaper than a battery. I wont get to do it until next weekend but will let you know how i get on.

Well just tried it again this morning - much easier with light and no rain. Getting 11.9v off battery and 8.7v on starting. 14v when running. This was variable had a best reading of 12.2v dropping to 9.02v when starting. So probably need a new battery? Be grateful if someone could confirm this...

Managed to get a multimeter today but due to ****ing rain didnt get much chance to test it properly. However, battery registering about 12.6v. when running its about 14v. Started it up about 10 times and lowest voltage ranged from between 9.4 and 9.7. A few times it wouldnt turn over and...

Thanks i'll try those asap. I've been out today but unlocked it just now and it was then fine. Only other thing i've done, but was immediately before the problem started, is change my car keys and pop the old fob circuit into the new casing - cant see how this could cause it though.

hi folks, Problem started yesterday. Turned ignition key but nothing happened. Locked then unlocked car and hey presto started up but m & s lights flashing so crawled home. Turned it off and started again then it was fine but had same m & s lights later in day - again intermittently...

i went through some water in yesterdays localised flooding. In all honesty i didnt realise how deep it was and went too fast and got a wash over the windscreen. I immediately slowed and then crawled through it but a minute later the engine cut out. I left it a minute and restarted it. It fired...

Thanks for the help. I went back and he agreed to do the job, i wasnt going to take no for an answer anyway. He did say if it leaks in 6 months he coulnt be held responsible but it would then be out of warranty anyway. Going in next week for a fourth time and will now hopefully be sorted.

thanks, just confirmed what I thought. Looks like i'll be going back tomorrow.

Hi all, Would be very grateful for some advice. In August I bought a 2001 Discovery 2 , 7 seat ES auto from a dealer and it came with 3 months parts and labour warranty. I've noticed a few oil leaks and it has been in to their work shop for repair. Two of the three leaks have been solved but...
