    I have exactly the same problem with my 96 300tdi disco bigcarle. I'm thinking earth strap to, be keen to hear from others any advice on where to start.

    Could be the earth.
    I just diagnosed a bad earth on the weekend by using a jumper lead from the negative battery terminal to chassis, bulkhead and then gearbox.
    My problem was slow cranking, turned out to be a bad lug on the main earth to the gearbox.

    The jumper cable test is what I usually suggest. It is quite likely an earth issue. Fixing earth issues are cheap and provide a whole lot of benefits.

    Otherwise, the only other thing I can think of is the alternator, but go down the cheap path of spring the earth first.
