Landy wont start

[Natt]

Morning all, I have a 2006 130 T/D i went to start up the landy and it wont start battery is good, every thing is normal when the key is turned right to the last bit when starting, i have checked the fuses near the gear shift and the ones under the drivers seat, is there something im missing? i mean lights indercaters wipers and everything else is like normal. any thoughts?

Yes, i should of explained a bit better sorry, when i say it wont start i mean when the last bit turning the key i have nothing, no power to turn the starter over, all the lights on the dash is normal as per usual but turn the key that last bit and i have nothing, thanks for trying thou

thats what it feels like, I tried the buttons on the key, is there any where else i should be looking at

shouldn't there be a light somewhere on the dash/steering column so you see it it disarms? THis happened to me, my immobiliser was bumped and had a loose connection. Everything you described was exactly the same.

This light is also used to override the immobiliser manually

Ok, i went out and closed the landy up and immobilised it all worked as normal but the red light on the dash is blinking alot faster than normal, where from here

I presume we are talking 130 Defender TD5 here? In which case I would be surprised if an immobiliser problem stopped it from cranking. It would be more likely to start and then stop.

It sounds more like a starter motor problem to me. Have a look at the cables connecting to the starter solenoid, and I would also be carefully checking engine/transmission earths.
