Quite possibly the imobiloser naffed then, or the starter, or the starter relay.

[landroverkeith]

My dad's got the 3.0 TD Terrano on a 52 plate...I say I'd rather push my Landy than drive a Nissan but...erm.....how can I say this...the drive and the warmth is bleeping gorgeous!!!

First turn of the key and your backside is instantly warmed up!

But I'd still rather push my Landy!!!

[bilge rat]

not got an earth prob have you . not turning over quick enough  ?. iff so you have correct batt voltage run a jump lead from the batt neg side and connect straight to the engine somewhere. see iff it makes a difference ?. dont loose heart with it . landys can be trying i know . you'll sort it . then they will be something else   ;) ;. alan...

[crazymac]

I'll put money that its down to the immobiliser! I had exact same, sometimes no problem, sometimes the AA!! After the 3rd or 4th AA visit he said its down to the immobiliser, get it taken out and you won'y have a problem, so I did, and I haven't!! Never failed me since.

hello, where is the immobilizer and how do i disconnect it? think i have the same problem. thx ian

Spoke to Stuart last night and understand he may have pointed you in a direction as you say it is not holding charge... As per my PM, try taking a reading between the battery post and the disconnected lead.

If you have a drain, start pulling fuses until you isolate where the drain might be.. once you have the appropriate circuit, then you can go hunting!

If it's the isolator, per other comments, ring Stuart for Alan's number - remember he had all sorts of issues with his after teaching to swim at the Macmillan...

All the best

I would suggest running a wire from the positive battery terminal to the stop solonoid. If it starts you know it is the imobiliser. If it doesnt it is a battery thing.
