Hi I'm new to the forum and just got my 98 Discovery LE last month. So far its been nothimg but problems. The car sat up for about a year. I put new brakes, new battery, new radiator hose, new spark plug wires, and new altenator and belt. Last nite driving home the SRS & Anit lock lights came on, then my radio started turning on and off by itself. I don't know if its censors or fuses. Also the spedometer started bouncing up and down and at one point stopped working. I made it home safely and turned the car off. When I tried to start it again it won't crank just a clicling noise. If anyone could give me any advice on what to do that would be great.[/align]Update: and now my brand new battery is completely dead!!!![/align]

Have your battery tested. If it will take and hold a charge, you have a loose wire somewhere. The Speedo and SRS lights are good indicators of a low voltage situation

 

You either have a loose wire on the back of the alternator, or at the battery.
If that isint it then you have a bad battery or alternator.
So what other problems have you had?

 

If your new battery is dead the culprit is a bad alternator. Before you buy a new battery have the alternator replaced. If not it will eat whatever replacement battery you put in there.

Cheers,

Pete
