    Disco not starting

    That's right my Disco sometimes will not start, symptoms:so far it's only after long drives if I stop and then say after 5 minutes try to start it nothing!! not even a clicking sound yet the dash lights all come on if I wait another 10-30 min it will start normally. What would cause this problem?

    I have fitted a new battery last week and it has done it again since. Didn't think it was the problem but mostly I wanted a bigger battery

    Bad earth between the starter & battery? Dirty/sticking brushes? Bad starter connection?

    A friend's Skyline used to do this. If you turned it off it wouldn't start again til it had cooled down. Which was around 30mins. It turned out to be the automatic transmission lockout switch doodah.
