    Question 300tdi not turning over

    Hi folks,

    My 300tdi isn't in a healthy state in that she's not driveable but I've been going back and regularly starting her and letting her idle for a bit to keep some fluids moving however recently she's decided not to start at all.

    I've checked the batteries and dropped them on chargers to be sure, swapped with different batteries but the same thing.

    I'm thinking the starter may have died but was wondering what the thoughts on the brains trust here are.

    So the symptoms are:

    Ignition: check
    Glow plugs: check
    Lights on dash (oil/battery/park brake): check

    Turn the key - nothing happens. Not even a click - not even a slight dampening of the dash lights.

    Thoughts?

    Wire fell off the starter solenoid? Hot wire direct to the battery/alternator to test the starter.

    Hi Glen,

    Do you still have that earth for your gas system on the firewall? If I remember correctly it didn't start until we cleaned that once before.

    Hi Richard,

    Nah we've rewired all that - everything runs off clean earth points cabled directly back to the batteries.

    One of the 2 relays on the fuse panel activates the starter solenoid, might be dodgy.

    The other 2% made it home.

    Cost difference between Britpart and Genuine seals: £2.04. Knowing that your brakes won't fail at any moment: Priceless.

    She's dead Jim

    We can see she's getting power but she's not spinning at all.

    Time to see if we can get a rebuild kit or if I've gotta fork out for a new one.

    Bugger.

    She's been converted to automagic, so that's not an option
