Replying to: disco2 (Mar 14, 2006 4:28 am) I also have a 97 Land Rover Disc that gave me hesitation when starting. My solution was simple. When inserting the key, I turn the key to the second click (the position right before it engages the starter). It makes a noise(about two seconds wait time) and I then continue to turn the key and mine starts perfect now. Well, it starts with no hesitation or labor on the starter anyway:-) I hope you have the same luck! -Eric
