Hey everyone,

I have a 1998 Discovery, automatic, V8, power everything, overall very nice Land Rover. About two weeks ago, I went out to start it and I only got a clicking noice, the battery look old, so I replaced it about a week ago. Started right up, no problems. three days ago, while driving my radio went out, the SRS light came on the it felt like the engine did not want to go, it keep running, but is stumbled a bit. I turn around ans was headed home and the radio can back on and the SRS light went out. Ran fine the rest of the day. Yesterday, I let the house and while driving the radio went out again and the SRS light came back on. it ran fine no hesitation. I stop at the store and when i can out the it would not start. just a ticking noice when I turned the key. I got someone to give me a jump and she started right up. Went home. Later i went to leave again and it started right up no problems.

Not sure what is going on, but I don't have a lot of confidence in it right now. Has anyone ever had this happen or no what might be wrong with it.

thanks in advance

You need to get a 2 hour charge on your battery, clean and tighten all the cable and then go have your battery and alternator load tested at your local auto parts store.
The SRS light is most likely come on because of a low voltage issue.
Don't take a short cut, jump the truck and go get it tested or the test will NOT be accurate.
