A final update in case in helps anyone. I decided to pull each fuse one by one and then try starting each time, so see if any of the circuits was the cause of the fault. The first fuse, by coincidence was labelled as 'alarm. Pulled the fuse, tried the key and nothing (as you might expect) Put...

tottot - I have always had your workaround in my mind as an option, but this would likely then bypass the immobiliser which i didn't want to do for security reasons (notwithstanding that the alarm now seems to have a fault anyway). It has also now become a bit of a mission to try and find the...

Update on this problem: Car been laid up a few weeks as i was away for a couple of weeks and busy at works before that. I decided to replace the starter which I did last weekend. Then it wouldn't do anything on the key - so there is an apparent problem with the alarm system (a clifford...

clicking is coming from the starter

Thanks for the suggestions . It’s a TD5. tried it again today - was just clicking constantly every time I tried. I then pulled the relay and connected a cable direct from battery to the brown/red wire that feeds the stater in the relay connector block - it started immediately no problems. I...

Problem Started a few weeks ago - when starting sometimes it’s fine other times I get a rapid clicking from the starter and it won’t start. Sometimes it clicks a few times then starts. I replaced battery and same problem. I replaced starter relay and same problem. when I get the clicking - I...

I found this sticker on the transfer box when changing the oil- does anyone know if it’s original or if it means the transfer box has been replaced ? Thanks

Had my Td5 for about a month now. Just had front wheel bearing done (MOT advisory) plus A frame bushes (hopefully to cure knocking sound when changing gear - not got car back yet so I suspect it has softened the knocking rather than fully cured it and expecting half shafts to need doing too) . I...

Thanks - MOT history is very good, one of the main reasons I chose it. minor stuff really and nothing on chassis / corrosion

Thanks all It already has a good (Cat 1) alarm system but i am also planning to get some other more visible / basic deterrents as well. Drove it 70 miles home yesterday and it seemed happy enough at 70mph on the motorway, Slight clunk when changing gear, mainly up to 2nd and 3rd so something...

play on one track rod end and on anti-roll bar - but would like a thorough check over to see if there any other gremlins just in case

Just a quick note to say hi. Otherwise a serial Lotus owner but just bought my first Defender, a TD5. Excited awaiting to to collect later in the week. Would appreciate any recommendations for a good garage in the Oxford area - there's a couple of small MOT advisories I would like to get done...
