Yes - title is correct! Anyone got a bright idea after reading the symptoms below?
I have been having problems if the temperatures are around 32 F or lower with the Disco II. If its higher than that I have no problems at all starting.
I turn on the ignition, all the lights come on as they should, the climate control fans turns on - I can turn that off OK, but there is still a slight whirring like a fan behind and left of the steering wheel - like a vacuum pump for the climate control? Happens even if Cruise switch is off.
I turn on the ignition to start her, the clock turns off as expected, I hear a relay move INSIDE (But not a definite CLICK/CLUNK) and then nothing - not even the starter solenoid moving like when a battery is low. Putting the charger on @ 60A doesn't help - and its a new battery (New since I first had the problem)
I put a fan heater under the engine for a while - alternator surface is warmish to the touch and I try again - same issue.
Put the fan heater INSIDE THE CAB
and bring up the temperature to around 50F... Now she starts without hesitation.
Thats as far as I have got tonight - wondering if anyone has run into something like this before.
