1998 land rover discovery starting itself

My land rover discovery series one had a radiator leak, which caused moisture to get into the starter relay I think, where is the relay? and why is it starting itself if its not the relay?

The relay is on the starter itself, its the smaller round object that actully has the wires from the battery run to it. Sometimes they will stick connected, causing it to start as soon as you turn on the key. If you have had the wires off, you may have put the main hot wire on the wrong side of the relay.

You can energise the interlock solenoid, by you give a positive (+12V) lead to the RED and a negative (ground) to the black line at the transmission selector's connector.
If it works you should check the positive signal at the red.
It should be there if the ignition is on, brake pedal depressed, and the transfer box is in some gear, and the fuse 1 isn't blown.
At the black cable should be a ground signal if the selector in 'P' position.
If you give me an e-mail address I'll send the wiring.

The ABS problem, you have better to check followings.
- All the wheels bearings' play.
- are the ABS sensors at the deepst position? Knock some to that head (not strong) and they shouldn't move deeper.

The fuel pump must run constantly while the engine is running.There is a return for excess fuel back to the tank.

SOURCE: 1999 land rover discovery series 1 does not hold charge.

Maybe, Terminals are old POS that no longer conduct.  Hit your local auto parts store and buy some new Terminals.  Get something that Is a strong Conductor.  I suggest Brass.  Also Its Important to get the right size Terminal.  I would also put money on your Main Power Wires being real heavy gage that will not fit into a generic Terminal.  So make sure you get a terminal your gage of wire will easily fit into to avoid head ache and the hacking of your nice heavy gage Into lets say Civic gage to fit a too small terminal which mind your will work However you will have  less power weaker connections ultimately Find your self with a car that will not start.  It does not  hurt to also sand any white crude or rust that would further interupt your new connection,  Complete that and she be ready to fire up and hand you your next task.
Good Luck,

When I turn on my air conditioned Land Rover Discovery Series 2 2001, does not turn on the fan that is in the front of the radiator

Disconnect the plugin wires to rad. fan and test for voltage to plug. Using an ohmmeter, see if the fan connection is open. If open,replace motor.If no voltage, check fuse,relay, and wiring and possibly the switch for loss of power.While moving,the air passes through condensor to make it work but in traffic and at stop,not enough air to remove heat from condensor.

The starter might be dragging.If you crank a motor too much with a low battery it damages the starter or you could just have a bad connection.Check both battery terminals are tight and check all earth connections.

Landrover discovery wont start but battery is good

This usually is the starter, especially if your truck has had an oil leak going for a while as the oil will run down into the starter and cause it to intermittenly fail. Also check your battery terminals and make sure you have a good connectivity.
