How old is the battery? these are very sensitive to charge and voltage if the battery is tired it will give the symptoms you describe, could also be a bad earth, or tired starter, how many miles it done? will it start with a jump?

Sounds as if the contacts in the starter solenoid have burnt out. You can replace the solenoid or if a bit handy you can buy a kit and just replace its internals. |

Bob, I had a very similar experience and turned out to be the contacts in the starter. You can be the kit online and it’s very simple to do. Kit cost around £20 rather than a couple of hundred for a new starter. |

Hi Bob H, I have a 2009 TD4 HSE which I have owned for 8 years and has been really reliable. I have had starting issues where pressing the starter button it might turn a little, stop, turn a little more and finally start. When it turns properly it always starts promptly. Been to 2 specialists who haven’t pinpointed the problem. One suggested the starter button was faulty but replacing needs coding to the engine/ECU needing full LR workshop equipment which they don’t have. Battery replaced a couple of years ago and no other electrical issues. Any help welcome!! |

Is it the same with both Fobs? I would change Fob battery anyway as a precaution, although you say unlocking works normally, and only the 'Near Field' function appears to be faulty. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011) FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015) Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History (Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

I don't bother changing the fob battery. My mechanic for the last number of years replaces "all" fob batteries. $8.00. On one hand a bit expensive, but on the other, need to give him a few dollars. My only thinking task is to drop off to the mechanic alternative fob with car! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

The starter motor bits are easy peasy to fit. Getting to the Three bolts to get the starter motor off are a pain, as they are behind the wiring loom which does not have a great deal of play. |

I only have the FL2 13-14 wiring and no explanation. But I have found this thread with a picture of the Immobilizer Antenna Unit which seems not to be working correctly by your description. I have no further information at the moment. https://landroverforums.com/forum/lr4-38/k...off-96921/ PS I found this thread where I was looking for the NF Antenna -- it looks like I didn't find it and therefore may have confused the RF 433MHz Antenna with the NF Antenna then. (the NF Ant is on page 92 of the 2013 Wiring Diagrams) Worth a look at this as it has an interesting video link explaining the locking system (but not the NF Immobilizer) https://www.freel2.com/forum/post430174.html FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011) FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015) Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History (Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?) |
