Hi All, I now have the same problem with my 2.0 cdti. No turnover, not even a click but lights and locks working.
I had an additional problem of the bonnet pull flapping. Managed to get the bonnet up and put a tie wrap on the single cable, that solved that problem. My car is parked at the far end of the road so I can't nip in and out with dismantled bits. How do I get to the starter motor on this car? Thank you.

The symptoms you've described strongly suggest either a dirty spade terminal on the starter solenoid (as earlier posts) or worn solenoid contacts. Both of these possibilities would prevent the starter motor turning. Quote:
Also, the prelude to a seized engine would be severe overheating and/or illumination of the oil pressure warning lamp but you didn't experience those either. Quote:

engine cover off, three bolts, then look below and in the middle of the manifold and you will see the starter motor, pull the spade end off clean up and re-fit see if the car starts. 1 2 If this does not start the car then give the starter a tap with the handle of a screw driver, see if it starts. Most likely the starter needs new contacts and plunger, to remove the starter will take about 45 minutes the first time you have ever taken one off. 3 4 5 6 how to on here somewhere.

Thanks Steve. Still enough daylight left so I'll see about that spade now.

Nice one, if David did or does need an engine then i would say it would be better for him to have the car lifted, bought to you by, Victor on here as he moves and transports cars. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...=newpm&u=26593 At least David would then have a good knowledge that the engine transplant would be done correctly by someone whom knows these cars

Don't forget to take a screw driver with you to give the starter a tap if the spade end does nowt.

Many thanks everyone so far. I've fed back the comments to the garage - I use them for other cars and they are normally pretty clued up about non-Rovers so would be surprised if they had missed a basic problem. It does seem strange that the car was working fine until parked, left for a few minutes and then failed to start. Both AA and garage suspected the engine had seized but I will obviously ensure they have tried to turn by hand before thinking about what to do next.
I presume a competent mechanic would know what to try to turn so see if a 2.5 V6 engine was seized???? |

If the suggested checks at the starter motor don't solve the problem, it is then worth a check of the wiring to the crank sensor. The wiring of our cars in some areas is constantly exposed to the variations in weather and can lead to deterioration of those wires, especially below the fuse box (engine bay).
