I 100% agree that the right way to do this is measure the Voltage drop while cranking

I think if this is the case I will search for a thread on what cable to get and how to fit it, thanks for explaining it all to a thicko like me |

Andy, I completely agree. I worked for several years at a company that made the motor controllers for battery powered forklifts and when things go wrong at 48V and 1000 Amps on prototype designs the damage is severe. It did teach me to look for Voltage drops and that skill is useful for keeping my LR2 in its "Runs Like New" condition. And of course I read FREEL2 to find out where to look for problems I might have. "Only the Paranoid survive" A. Grove Take care Paul |

To do this test on a diesel without starting the engine. I wonder if unplugging the crank shaft sensor connector would work? |

Probably an M8. You could just go to Halfords and pick up a small selection packet or metric bolts for a couple of £ |

When I did mine I replaced one of the starter bolts with one that has a short stud on the head. The part number is LR012452 which has an M8 stud. On eBay for £2.89 + 79p postage...
