Thanks. I don't recall stop start (eco mode) working in a long time so could indeed be that.

Thanks for the info, fitted an earth lead today and found that the starter is far more responsive, confident the HDC fault showing will be a thing of the past. |

Yes, thanks to all on this post. First coldish start this morning. O degrees fired up nicely first press after a 1 second halt for plugs. No hdc fault.

Just had the starter solenoid contacts and plunger sorted on my 07 freelander. One of the contacts was only working on a very small part and the copper ring on the plunger was very badly pitted. |

Hi Tank24, I'm thinking my starter may well be in a similar condition. Mine is an early 2007 with 98,000 on the clock. Did you have starter repaired or exchanged? What sort of cost?

hi JGH i got a kit and my local garage sorted it. Its fairly easy to do yourself if you have the time and place, the repairkit cost about £15 and they charged me £50 to do the work, as opposed to around £200 or more for a new starter. |

if you go on YouTube and type in Denso starter motor repair it shows exactly what to do. |
