MD22 starter earth relay
« on: June 26 2020, 15:52 »
Does anybody know the whereabouts of the earth isolation relay in the md22 start system. Mine is [I think ] chattering on start as if making poor contact . I think it probably lives in the black box next to the fuel filter/bellhousing. On a related subject having had the same engine develope an oil leak from the oil pump I can confirm that Austin Montego/Maestro diesel fit [and cost £25 as compared to volvo £200 ish]     Geoff

All the relays are in the black box near the raw water pump. Chattering relays can be caused by a low battery, so check starter battery voltage before digging deeper.
