    HEEEELLLPPPP - engine wont turn over but battery OK

    Hi all - any suggestions what this could be?

    turn the key and the TD5 wont turn over. Clean terminals and plenty of voltage at the battery, at the main terminals in the fuse/relay box, at the alternator, and at the starter motor - with very little drop when key is turned to start position.

    You can hear the solenoid kick in, so that is working. Every now and then it will turn over - so the starter motor is obviously not siezed.

    I have leaky fuel pressure regulator... with small amount of diesel running down towards starter.... so maybe this has caused an issue.

    Plus I was playing aorund with fuel reg last night, so maybe I bumped something.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Simon, Definately a solenoid contact issue. The contact set is almost identical to a Nippondenso Toyota Corona starter, thes are very common starter motors and ALL auto elecs have solenoid plungers and contacts for them on the shelf.

    It is an easy job.

    Give me a call on 0408 995 635 if you need me to talk you through it.

    Don't panic!

    Hi all,

    well I am feeling pretty pleased with myself right about now... not only did I pull out and fix the faulty starter motor (... it just had some crap in it),

    I also did the change over on the fuel pressure regulator. Actually... I'm glad the starter **** itself today of all days.... at least the top nut was easier to get to with the fuel cooler, heater hoses and and regulator off.

    The only downside is that my hands and arms look like I have been juggling a couple of wild cats. I have a sneaky feeling that the Brits sharpen every little piece of metal and plastic that you have to squeeze your arms past just incase a German has to work on it one day.

    Thanks so much for your advice guys... really appreciate it.

    Have a great weekend.

    Simon

    I have a feeling that this happened to my car. LR just replaced the starter motor. I wasn't complaining!

    Most cuts are caused by Plastic wire ties, when the tail is trimmed, esp. with wire cutters it leaves a razor sharp stub sticking out to grab your flesh, I have scars from cuts to the bone on my hands and wrists from these buggers.
    Tip: cut the tails flush with a sharp knife or razor or if it is hard to get at, don't cut the tail off, but tuck it in out of the way and before the smarties come in and say be more vigilant, being black and mounted out of sight means you can't always see them, Regards Frank.

    Thats true Frank, I've taken to not trimming at all, or as you say, tucking them out of the way a bit.
    (They hardly get infected etc either, as I use a lot of garlic when cooking, and crushing the cloves the trad way with a broad knife blade I get a fair bit of pain from garlic juices getting in to the cuts)
