Hey Folks -. I have a rebuilt 2001 Discovery SE that I drove to MA from Guatemala last year. With no issues along then way aside from a parasitic battery! Because of some external circumstances, we left it sitting, for a few months, with a parasitic battery. Now it won’t start even with the battery charged - we took it to auto one, had it charged and they say it’s fine. When I hook it up, if I turn the key one stop to the right, no dash lights go on. Two stops to the right and all lights go on and I can hear a click under the hood, but there is no crank at all. There is no EKA system, and it wasn’t locked when the battery went dead months and months ago.

I don’t know if it’s worth fixing vs selling for parts, and if anyone can recommend a good mechanic (in MA), or if anyone has ideas of what might be the issue. Thanks!

 

First off that’s an amazing drive, hats off! No crank conditions are relatively easy to diagnose. Do you have a copy of the RAVE? There are some areas to check diagnose the issues. You have the ignition switch, fuses, a relay and wiring down the starter. Also could be the XYZ switch on the transmission. Have you tried to start it in neutral? Depending where you are in MA there are some good Land Rover shops around.

edit: Diesel or V8?
