Just appeared in the GTR:
Models LD - Defender Title Mulitiple Starter Motor Failure Last Modified 21-JAN-2009 17:43 Category Electrical Symptom 203000 Basic Electrical Content Issue: Repeat failures on Defender starter motors. Cause: The ignition switch can jam causing starter motor failure due to over running. Action: If the starter motor has failed check operation of ignition switch; a) Is the switch jammed through any of its positions? b) Does the switch fully return to position 2 once cranked and the inhibit operates, not allowing re-crank from position 2? c) Does the starter motor continue to engage once cranked and key released? If the answer to any of the above is YES please change ignition barrel as well as starter motor as potentially the starter motor will fail again. Vehicles post vin. 775971 have been modified and should not demonstate this concern.

funny that - not quite the same but on 2 occassions I've been unable to move the ignition to stage 1 from 0 (if thats the correct positions - ie from off to 1st position) - and no its not because of the steering lock.
The first time it happened I was just about to abanded the vehicle and then it worked 
No issues with the starter though. |

My TD5 had a steering lock, and it caught me out a time or two. Wasn't the easiest to disengage.

mine goes on really easy on the disco just got to bump the steering wheel, not so sensitive on the defender.
MSE: before you put the key in give your steering wheel a wobble and you will hear a short click then you wont be able to move it at all.....you then put the key in the ignition and you might find you have to give the steering wheel a jiggle as your turning the key to get the lock off YOU KNOW REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS!!!! |
