Thread: Help/advice required urgently - Disco death

If you see a mechanic close to you he will probably come and have a look. Sounds like it could be the starter motor if you give it a tap with something like a piece of wood(or hammer) it may get it going.

Battery leads being tight is a good call...

Did the engine turn over when you "Jumper Started" it, if it just clicked as before, it is probably the Solenoid on the top of the starter motor jammed, if you can give it a few knocks with a hard object, Jack Handle, Wheel Brace, without touching any of the wires, it may start, hope this helps, bit hard to diagnose from here, BTW check that the battery cables are tight, Regards frank.

X2 .... Dead battery ... Battery terminals ....or "hit the starter motor soliniod"
