Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys,

I have recently bought a 95 disco 3.9 auto running petrol/gas.

Recently the car just cut out on me whilst running on gas. I restarted the car on petrol and appeared to run ok. It happened again yesterday, but this time it wouldnt run on petrol either. I then had trouble restarting the car ...

Hi Guys....

Found the main problem.... The red cable goes to the positive doesnt it???

Just kidding... The battery is stuffed. It would hold its 12 -13 volts but as soon as any load was put on it, it died. The battery was bad enough that even when trying to jump start from another vehicle it would ...

Hi Guys....

Have only just walked in from work, so havent and wont get any time tonight to have a tinker. However... I will take on board all the info above and have a go at it tomorrow night.

I am taking the battery to get tested properly tomorrow.... so that will be another problem solved/sorted ...

Jason...

Yes the voltage drop was taken at the battery between the two terminals. It was reading in the 13's and when trying to crank over, it dropped to the 6's.

Did also put the multimeter on the starter motor and there was insignificant voltage drop between the battery and starter... but havent ...

I havent found there to be any heat from any cables. Tried the jumper lead from battery to engine.... no go there either. Will have to wait till tomorrow to borrow a multimeter to measure resistance.

The solinoid for the starter is just clicking away when try to start.. and the starter itself is ...

Ok.... I have now relocated the earth cable to go straight from the battery to the chassis. This appears to have made no difference at all.

I cant even get the car started by jump starting from another vehicle.

Anymore ideas?

Thanks

Kel

Thanks for your advice. The battery has 770CCA and both the positve and earth cables are 12 - 15mm thick. The earth cable runs from the battery to the engine and then from a different location on the engine to the chassis and also the body. Is this suffice or do the cables need to be bigger again ...

I have a 4.4 P76 motor in my rangie. I have just replaced the battery and the alternater. It appears to be loosing voltage somewhere. The battery is showing good voltage and when running the battery is getting good return voltage to charge it. The problem is... when I try to start the car the ...

Great pics....looks good

I had similar prob, but ended up being the valve wasnt working (found in several pieces) in the front of the master cylinder. Just another suggestion.

Cheers
