Loose Electrical Connector at Starter Motor
A number of retailers have encountered 1999 and 2000 MY Bosch EMS-equipped vehicles which fail to start or start intermittently.
Field reports have indicated that the primary electrical connection on these vehicles may not be adequately torqued to provide a solid electrical
connection. Testing of warranty return starters supports the suggestion of a loose connection. Returned starters frequently test "no-fault-found".
Whenever a no-start situation is encountered on 1999 and 2000 "Bosch" Range Rover or Discovery vehicles, the first check should be to tighten the
main starter electrical cable connection as follows:
1. First disconnect battery ground terminal.
2. Slacken and remove the battery-lead-to-starter-solenoid-securing nut.
3. Install a star washer on the solenoid stud.
4. Install and tighten the nut to 18 Nm (13 lb.ft.).

Replacement of the starter motor is not warranted unless the electrical connection is properly tightened and the no-start condition is determined to
still exist.
