Hi,
So my D40 has been struggling to start recently and the other day just failed all together, at the turn of the key it was clicking rapidly but doing nothing else. Called out RAC, after 5 hours waiting, it started first time off a jump. Drove an hour home, no warning lights drove fine. Got home, turned it off, tried to start again and just clicking. I’ve had the battery off and charging for 24 hours, metered it at 13V, still just clicking. When you put in the key and turn it everything acts a little strange, the cd changer runs constantly round etc, the speedo needle drops below 0 and twitches, lights on the dash flash. Any ideas? I have a new battery and glow plugs on order because that was my thought for the original issue. I’ll put a video up.
Thanks. I am at a loss, I would guess dead starter except it fired up with a jump the other night absolutely perfectly.
