So 04 disco 2 wouldn't start today. It has a new battery, fully charged, and a new starter, less than a month old. When I turn key in ignition, it clicks, doesn't turn over. It's in park, there is gas in the truck. Any ideas of what I can look for? Thanks in advance.

Starter solenoid or the starter it self. Tap the side of the starter gently with a hammer handle/stick then try to start. If it does it is the starter. Every stater I have had fail has always been in the winter..

Check the small wire that connects to the top of the solenoid. It's a female connector and may have poor or loose fit on the new starter. (happened to me)
Thanks. I have limited mechanical knowledge. Where is the starter solenoid located and best way to access?
Its part of the starter assembly, on the side of the starter motor itself. Google an image of a Land Rover starter, its housed in the smaller of the two cylinders. Basically just replace the whole starter if its bad.
I had a similar problem on my 94, replacing the ground and positive cables made a world of difference.
