urbanmenace Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Took my Rover V8 hybrid through some mud (@ Woodlands) since then Starting has been strange ! Sometimes it will start first time other times can hear a buzz, almost like weak battery. Could it be full of the wet gloopy stuff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yes it could well be. Have the same problem myself, did it again yesterday morning. The problem is in the solenoid where the mud stops the steel plug from sliding freely in the solenoid coil. Have seen this posted elsewhere and the fix was to turn down the steel plug by a few thou for extra clearance. This was also being claimed for those situations where the solenoid was getting too hot from the exhaust header and the steel plug expanding and locking up.
