Martin writes... This morning the starter worked
- first time in days - at the campsite it continued to work but a few
hours later - once the engine had cooled - the pesky starter motor failed
to click, budge, make-a-noise - our starter motor was totally kaput (as Lex, the mechanic stated). Arriving in Lilongwe, with the yellow Landy chugging behind in front wheel drive, we headed straight for Graham's workshops. John's Land Rover only required a new drive member (a thing that bolts onto the rear wheel hub and makes the wheel turn). Far less serious than we had initially thought. |

Our dear Maggie, (now the Blue Landy) was a different matter. We had thought that it was the switch that had failed as the starter failed to respond in any way. Checking all the leads and power finally diagnosed the problem as the starter solenoid. Finally, the starter motor we had packed in January was unravelled and fitted. Problem solved!!
