one of the ancillaries seized? Alternator, air con etc slowing the cranking down - drop the belt off and try to start?
Good luck Keith |

You've obviously tried another battery, used booster cables and swapped starters so that side of things should be OK
Never played with a TD5 but there's no way the starter ring gear can be damaged / misaligned and causing mechanical resistance is there? Otherwise a partially blocked / restricted exhaust might be enough to slow it down turning over Hopefully someone with better knowledge than me will be along in a bit... |

Didn't try another battery, but the voltage readings are good and by using a booster have eliminated the battery.
Didn't think about exhaust, but I don't think that's an issue. doesn't make any strange noises while turning over, some making the assumption ring gear etc.. is OK, and having tried 4 starters, all sounding similar, think that side of things is OK. 1986, 127, ex Fire Tender and Ambulance |

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever figure this out? 1999 Defender 110

Nope.
We've also tried all new starter and earth leads, additional earth from starter bolt to battery neg terminal, so eliminated all the possible volt drops in the wiring to the starter. Will not get up to 300 rpm, so the injectors aren't being energised. Best we've seen is 280 rpm. Parked up for now - wondering what to do next ... 1986, 127, ex Fire Tender and Ambulance |

I had the same problems. Changed injector rings and seals, injector loom, crank sensor, fuel filter inlets.. still nothing worked. I decided to bring the starter to rebuild.. .. and of course it was that. Now it starts in half a second.

I know a simple thing have you tried blowing fuel lines out and fresh diesel?
Also check fuel filter head isn’t cracked 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid) 2002 90 TD5 Hardtop (Sully) Sold 1998 300TDi D1 (Billy) Sold |

The problem is that it doesn't get to 300 rpm before operating the injectors.
I'm convinced it's a starter or starter wiring/earth problem. Having tried 3 known good starters, I'm now certain it's wiring related - volt drop etc... 1986, 127, ex Fire Tender and Ambulance |

Have you tried a new positive feed from battery to starter? It could have broken down and causing high resistance and slow turn over?
I see you've tried jump leads but they don't give a fantastic connection compared to a properly crimped and terminated cable 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon 1990 Vogue SE Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Td5 90 Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50767.html Tdi 110 Thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic69562.html RRC Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54492.html Instagram http://www.instagram.com/george_grafton |

No, must admit, not made up new leads yet - but have tried other leads. 1986, 127, ex Fire Tender and Ambulance |
