I think i`ve got it narrowed down to a knackered battery (showing heathy but no cranking power) thanks for the info. I had a 1991 disco 300tdi that you had to stall to turn the engine off, you would be ordering your tea at the burger van with the keys in your hands and the doors locked with the engine still running.

I went out when the kids in the street had finished off their alcopops and no noise from the pump, with the replies i had received i dug out the old faithfull battery charger and with a few hours charge the motor came to life. So hard to diagnose a td5, the old tdi gave a call like a hound when it had a flat battery "bow wow wow wow" the new motors are so fickle. Cheers for the info m8.

The battery in the 110 was giving a green indication for healthy condition, ferreted around in the shed for the old battery charger and charged for 4 hrs. Turned over with a bit of a struggle and the engine management light stayed on for a few seconds. I will get a new battery put in tomorrow but i wonder what killed the battery off??? Many thanks for the quick diagnosis, with the battery showing healthy i would never have thought to give it a charge.

Hi fellow land rover nuts, after years of fighting mother nature trying to keep 300tdi`s on the road i gave up and bought a 110 TD5 (VAN). It seemed like a good move at the time as scottish weather takes no prisoners,so it was goodbye to the 90sw holes included. In return i have a 110 which ran fine until it stopped dead as i backed out the drive at half six one wet morning. After summoning strength of the bear and pushing it to the other side of the road i have a clicking from under the drivers seat and the start up lights on the dashboard flickering at the same time. I have replaced the yellow relay which i think is connected to the fuel cut off and have ordered the black relay which i think is related to the starting sequence. After speaking to an auto electrician who came recommended i get the feeling he would be coming to put the landy out of it`s misery. Has anyone had a similar problem with a 110 and did the poor beast pull through? The pain of the whole event is being dulled by a well known french beer first brewed in 1664.
