Hi,
My LR90 (1986) NA Diesel is a bit sluggish starting these days.
The battery is new and seems to be charging OK. Glow plugs are new too. I've also checked the earth straps including, for good measure, proving a couple of additional ones.
All seemed to be better until yesterday. Started ok first time and ran around a few fields tugging some trees. Engine was up to running temperature. When I wanted to re-start engine turned over very slowly and dashboard lights dimmed before sluggish start. This happened a couple of times. Seemed to start OK earlier today.
The only thing left for me to check out is the starter motor - could this be the culprit? If so what's the best way of confirming the problem?
I've limited skill when it come to spanners and the like but will happily give anything a try!
Having a search I seem to be looking at £120 ish for a new starter motor???
Kind regards,
Richard
