    Td5 disco makes clicking noise, very hard to start.

    Hey all, having problems with my disco. Tried the search on here but wasn't helpful. Firstly it has been getting worse over time and now just makes a clicking noise and randomly fires(after 5 mins or so). The battery is bout 6 months old so im ruling that out. Any help would be great. Thanks all

    Its your starter motor contacts and plunger more than likely that are worn.

    If you search TD5 starter you will find it and a guide on what to do. I recently did mine following this after I grabbed the parts from a local starter repair place. About $22 it cost along with about a hour to swap the parts over and about 2 hours of scrubbing the grease oil and crap off me.

    That top bolt was a PITA.
