dailysleaze Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Starter turns fast but there's no signs of catching after its up to temperature, but does start after 30mins of sitting. Doesn't cut out whilst driving. No problems starting from cold I believe it could either the spider, fuel solenoid or the starter solenoid. (Defender 97) Do these sound like the most likely culprits?

cackshifter Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Unlikely to be the starter solenoid i would think as it spins over. Try running a wire from starter live to stop solenoid. If it starts hot, spider is suspect, if not stop solenoid is in the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yep cheers, you're probably right. Will have to plan to interrogate it a bit more as I don't do many journeys that get up to temp, plus only have a 20-30 minute window to test it before it cools down. It must have been like this for a while as I couldn't remember the last time i'd stopped and restarted when hot. Trundling to the petrol station to fill up was never a problem. The spider box in the battery box does feel quite warm when this happens. Thinking about getting a bypass for peace of mind anyway. Here's a video for the time being for future reference if others have the same symptoms and will post the cause when I find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
