I've only had my range rover a few months now. It's a 99 4.0 [wife loves it!] I have a starting problem! Since I've owned it after it ran for awhile it would start sluggishly,now it wont start at all. any ideas, comments, or suggestions? I don't hear a typical click sound indicating the starters bad, it has plenty of battery.

 

In no particular order:

1. Battery terminals need to be clean and tight, battery volts need to be 11 volts or so when cranking, if battery has died in the drive way, may need to charge overnight with a small charger and extension cord. Of course can try jumping with another vehicle. Caution - when doing this, truck may think alarm should still be "ON", so use something to hold down the alarm switch for the hood before attaching the external jump.

2. Battery to frame (-) cable connection can be bad at frame, follow battery cable.

3. Cables can be loose at starter.

4. Starter relay can be bad (underhood fuse box).

5. Starter can be bad, removal is fun, have to use long socket extensions and work from in front of front axle, PITA, etc.

 

We need more info, does the engine turn over at all?
Or is there nothing when you try and start it?
Do all of the dash warning lights come on?

 

engine does not turn over, all lights, everything else working, plenty of juice from battery
seatbelt warning etc comes on as it should

 

Do the lights on the dash dim or flicker when you are cranking the engine over?
Have you tried jumping the vehicle?

 

My Discovery had a corroded connection at the battery cable to frame chassis ground point.

 

thanks for all the info put a new starter in fired right up
