I bought a D2 TD5 that came with starting instructions of , usually required the 5 full pedal pushes and lots of cranking. Sometimes 5 seconds , sometimes numerous trys. Well eventually it didnt start at all so bit of investigation found that the starter motor had lost 2 of 3 bolts and No 3 was blowing in the wind. New starter motor bolts and now tight all issues dissapeared. This was 5 years ago. Seeing as I picked the car up for a grand in pretty tidy condition but with this issue I did pretty well.
I've just replaced the headliner and now the car won't start. I'm guessing I've either unplugged something, earthed something, or blown something. Can't really be much else.
I've exactly the same issue, car can be started using a lead off the +ve, the relay tests out OK but when in place will not work and the earth lead to engine tests out OK. What was your fix for the reluctant relay position issue? Thanks
I have the exact same problem except no matter what angle I put the relay in nor how far it’s pushed in still doesn’t start. Will only run off of bypassing the relay for a short amount of time

Great video, but I really strained listening.
Low tone.
But amazing skills hope they help me on my problem
Did you notice the relay was different to the rest of them..

Okay, cool. My money was on the starter motor.
