My 1998 disco would not start this morning. It is cold out here in the NW. The battery is new. And all the accessories work just wouldn't turn over. Made a sound trying to start, but wouldn't. Is it starter, or alternator?

 

Even if the alternator is toast it should start on a charged battery, it just won't run long. Was it cranking, like the starter was engaging? Or was there a clicking noise? Be specific.

 

The was a whine noise. Then nothing when I tired it again.

 

Starter is done, but do a HG job to be safe


Remember, a HG job will fix everything.

 

When I replace the batteries it didn't have this problem. Why the delay in issue? I didn't jump. How hard is it to replace the starter

Thanks.

 

Hg= head gasket? Why would that help?

 

It was a joke.

 

Oh. So autozone starter or British Atlantic starter. ?

 

I'd go with autozone, lifetime warranty. I don't know about BA, plus you got to ship them the core.

 

Paul Grant, guaranteed good and no core. Much cheaper too.
