Ok, going out of my mind here.
Since the advent of the cold wet weather my Landy has been constantly fighting me about starting.
She was never great at starting in the first place.
So in the summer replaced battery...worked better for a while, but battery seemed to drain over a couple of days. Bought a Battery Isolation switch, that helped for a while too and battery tends to hold its charge.
Now since the weather has has become very damp and cold Its lazy at turning over...it has now reached an extreme and almost doesnt turn over at all. I have tried a jumper pack and ever a jump from another car, lazy and unresponsive apart from once where I wiggled every cable I could find and it turned over at a normal car starting pace. Next time starting it...back to barely turning over.
I cleaned all the connections on the battery, starter Solenoid and starter earth connection. Still lousy. I have noticed when I turn the key to get the starter to turn the drop in voltage is huge.
I have taken the Starter motor out to clean all the external connectors, I am really reluctant to crack it open to check brushes.
Have I missed something easy?
