    Do I need a new starter?

    Do I need a new starter?

But have had the battery tested..........Fine. Have removed the terminals...

    What Injectors?

    OK Dave will get the elbow pipe off in the morning and have a look........ if it's just soaked in oil, and not falling to pieces, is that ok? just worried that the intercooler may be bunged up with oil and stuff, as the oil that came out the top hose actually dripped out slowly when pointed at...

    Thanks Paul, Have removed the terminal wires from the starter, cleaned and re-fitted, and the same with the earth straps, but to be honest, they were in very good condition, and the earth straps seem new as they are still quite shiny, but the problem has not got any better.......... New...

    Hi all, Have a Disco 1, fitted originally with a V8, but the previous owner fitted a Tdi "Wheezel", which i have found, is out of a Defender. When i first got it, it seemed very good on fuel, and pulled OK, if that's possible:confused: But I was wondering if the reduction in fuel economy, and...
