ignition issue
Hello again all. Currently rattling to work in a late series 111 which, though originally diesel, has had a petrol conversion. The 'stop' control for fuel still there along with the low fuel light. Has had a choke control fitted and also there is a switch under the right dash ( english spec) which does not appear in my owners manual ? The previous owner started her by flicking the switch - which lghts-up the charge warning lamp, and then turned the key. She will roar into life at the first turn of the starter. Though , now sometimes nothing, not even a solenoid click. Experimented with turning the key to turn the motor 1 or 2 turns before flicking the switch to achieve again instant ignition. Worked for a week or so, but once again, i'm sometimes getting silence?
Has anyone had a similar problem with a conversion? In other instances (not LR), the problem has always been the lock barrel assembly, which, if unrectified, got a taste for chewing-up starter motors. Ow!
Thanks again for help with the 1,00 mile trip.
Malcolm ( Lavaur ,France).
