Is the starter motor located close to these ground points? I am having issues with my 2006 Range Rover sport Not sure to take the drivers wheel off or passenger wheel to inspect the ground wires… Starter on mine is buried in the drivers wheel arch

Thank you so veryyyy much for the fantastic video !!! you are a Legend 💪🫡, I want your help and advice,,, my Discovery 4 TDV6 3.0 L , I bought a cheap car for my wife , car it’s not running for the last 4 months so I take some risk everything in the car so great so I bought, this LR4 always serviced on time by previous owner, full logbooks paperwork everything all history shows, story being so while he pulling his camper coming from very long distance about a 1000 kms and some how he find his car started leaks coolant then overheated engine in the way back so he was so close to his home about 40-60 kms drive it until arrived home , it has new AGM battery car won’t crank no click it just heard funny sound as it turn on like an electric motor similar to winch motor ? Oil level under full a bit two notch and oil cap has smell bit burn Do You reckon engine gone 😢? Then I used my scanner ATOFIX pro , I plugged it it OBD port in LR4 it shows me that I have only two faults -1 DDM (Driver Door Module) -2 PCM (Powertrain Control Module) then under the rest it says no response . When I did the scan battery was 13.8 it’s new 4 weeks old. I use a long plastic cable tight as a snack to check between the oil filter and the oil cooler if there is any oil spread because of the high temperature/pressure it might go faulty but I find all dry no oil leaks or trace all around engine very clean nothing u find only the red coolant bit track , the famous top thermostat it’s split when I just pump the hose/pipe it makes a hissing and water go through it ,, I checked the water bottle have no trace of milky liquid or in the oil and front thermostat there is a trace of red coolant and on some pipes this was before a week , and today before you send me your reply I took the fan out and I tried to crank the engine manually because I thought it might piston jammed or coked the engine or crank might be snapped who knows , but thanks God , cranked it freely I moved it both ways front and back nothing jammed or anything sounds funny? Then I tried to go searching all around the engine and I found out on the top thermostat that’s it’s sitting on the top of the oil cooler top thermostat was split damage I replaced it with new then I checked the engine oil take the screw sump to see how the oil looks like then first what came out is a pure clean water about a 2 big mugs and then a dark black oil was smells bad burned it didn’t left the constant of oil it’s still oil not oily waterish- I think because it’s been sitting too long after this incident he had with his car overheated the engine cools and oil burn cooked oil so for long it’s hold all the dehydration inside some how as no coolant all gone no oil inside coolant and no coolant in oil 🤷‍♂️. It seems head gasket I’m in it now , I’m thinking it might be a thermostat cause all this or water pump gone was faulty I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ … then I add water to the new bottle fill it up put all hoses back new thermostat battery new then i put oil from my last week oil service was done to my Td5 idea to wash the engine out with Td5 old oil then I’ll add new oil and filter…I give then put everything back together I start car won’t start engine but it’s cranking all smooth the message I see on screen is low key battery and low coolant and the water bottle is full and red yellow triangle message says Restricted Performance ?? what do u think plzzzzz I need your advice 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫡🫡 Many thanks again To youuu really you are a Legend 🙏🏻💪🫡 Cheers Matt

Thanks. Same issue 2010 disco 4 thought my Battery but found your video 🙏. Thanks for sharing your fault finding skills.

I have just had the identical issue, went through all the checks, couldnt believe no earth when tester showed voltage, introduced an earth direct to starter and she started straight away. The earth had corroded in the same place as yours and I made a short lead and fitted it as you had. Thank you

Thank you for this , got into my disco 4 this morning and exactly the same issues …. Here goes trying to fix it Stuart in Ireland ☘️

Hi I got the same problem on a 66 plate that I just bought from auction and it’s not turning manually ?! So I am not to sure if the same problem or not ?!

I have the 66 plate from auction and it’s doing the same think and the local garage said it’s engine gone because it’s not turning manual

Hi , can I ask you a question please, o got a car it’s not cranking even and the engine not turning manually, what do you think engine gone ?!

That has got my car to start but know it’s started back up using you method it sounds like.a Bag off nails is that normal because I just run the lead from the battery or should it run as normal

Did it start?

Did you get engine crank no start symptoms?

Very useful, found the exact same issue, open circuit from the battery negative terminal to anywhere on the chassis, thanks again for the helpful videos pal

Perfect. Didn’t see this video before. Thanks for your help.

This video saved my backside! Many thanks for uploading, you really did help me out 👍

Hi, how did you connect the negative to the starter motor as I cannot reach the threaded terminal to attach a lead onto. Like you I have the same problem and want to bypass the earth strap as mine was like yours ?

Shame on land rover what a bad place to install main earth and poor quality product. That show how stupid land rover engineers are

Nice and clear straightforward, thank you for the help.

So how did you fix it ? The car never started

Many thanks had exactly the same problem. thank you for making the video.

Beautiful work

Really helpful video.. Will know how to fix mine in the future 😉
