Hello I just got this Disco (my first (failed to notice the “for gods sake put this down and buy a Mitsibushy” sticker)).
Anyway I have a new Starter Motor fitted by previous owner 1 month ago, and a new battery fitted by me yesterday.
1991, 200TDI, Manual.
The problem I have is the starter motor turns very slow, when I use jump leads it still turns slow.
The engine will always fire up when I get it to spin, but it just turns over very slow on the starter motor.
I can leave the lights on full beam for a couple of hours and the battery will be fine, but when I engage the starter it turns over real slow. It reminds me of a faulty starter motor, that earth's out.
I have noticed there are no earth straps from the starter bolts to the battery.
Any ideas, would a new starter wear after a month.
