Hi all thanks for all your sugestions....finaly taken starter off (and hitting it with large hammer and lump of wood did nothing lol... )the solonoid was working and and had 12v feed!!! 'done ortopsy and starter is dead' hoping new 1 might solve all my problems including the starting issue...apparently(so i've been told) the engine needs to turn over at a sertain speed before it will fire on a diesel. hence why it wont fire at first but will as it gets faster....lets hope new starter kills 2 birds with 1 stone :think:

will keep you updated and thanks again ...
Daz

If you were constantly spinning over for 45 seconds plus every time to start it then the starter motor ain't gonna do that for a long period. I would change starter first then move on from there if you still got problems after that post again! I personally find it hard to trust any garage.

It's what the forums about m8. Glad you got it sorted for a reasonable price. Now you can enjoy your largo once again :D
