Thread: disco2 starting problems

hi guys
my td5 doesnt start sometimes, it might take 5 goes before it starts. i changed the battery ive also tested the alternator so thats allright. has anyone had this problem before?


cheers knotty

Mine has had trouble starting 4 times in 2 years. It turned over OK but did not fire. The last time it did this my son had it. He took the key out and put it back in and it started first pop. He is an auto 'lecy so he said the computer probably reset itself.

The time before I was showing a mate over the Discovery as he offered to deliver a camper trailer to friends in Wagga. I warned him that I had some trouble starting in the past and blow me down if it did not start while I was showing him over it. It wound over for about 3 minutes before he said the battery would not handle it. It eventually fired and he had no troubles after that.

Try taking key out and re-insert it and try again.

Hope this helps.
