If the battery is OK - see below - the give the starter solenoid (the small cylinder fixed to the starter) a few thumps with a hammer because they frequently get corroded inside. My bet is this is the cause of your problem. If that make no difference, check the battery voltage - it should be around 12.5 or a bit higher.If the voltage is low- have the alternator and battery checked under load by an auto electrician If the battery is old, it may hold the charge but still not be good enough to crank.

SOURCE: default code P1451 Land Rover Discovery II

The code P1451 on a Land Rover is "Leakage Detection Module Motor power stage error Drive cycle A:Signal out of range - above maximum". This is an OBD-II diagnostic system code. As far as I know, a 1995 Land Rover Discovery does not use a OBD-II system. Is it possible that this rover is a later model year

SOURCE: transfer case oil change- 1999 Land Rover Discovery II

No need for a diagram, to drain the oil, there's a drain plug on the bottom of the transfer box, under the handbrake drum. To fill, the fill plug is about in line with the centre of the handbrake drum and to the left. I think both plugs are 1/2" square. Fill to overflow with Texaco Multi-Gear 75W/90R. Takes about 2L or so.

My 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 will not start. When I insert the key and turn it to the third position, none of the dashboard lights come on and the radio doesn't work. Tried jump-starting the car but...

While the voltmeter reads 12 volts doesn't mean that the battery is good. Have a load test done on the battery as it may have a dead cell. Jumping a battery with a dead cell will not work as all the power from the jumper goes straight to the dead cell

The steering damper on my 1997 land rover discovery is broken. the replacement part is on back order. can i drive it until the part arrives?

It certainly can be driven, but when going over bumps, the steering wheel will jump around in your hand a bit. I would advise not replacing with a factory OEM damper as companies like ARB make a much heavier dirty model and will last and work a lot better

My 1997 land rover discovery is stuck in park

This can sometimes happen when the brake sensor is not being activated. If you press *really* hard on the brake, you can sometimes get it to trip, allowing you to get out of park. Generally, the sensor will have to be replaced, but I have had one car (2002 Ford Explorer) where this trick would make it work for months at a time.

Either you have a completly dead batt. or your starter is shot.. You can not jump a car with a flat dead Batt. but a BOOST PACK will....it's all about the AMPERAGE.
