Frequently asked questions

What does the starter inhibitor switch do?
The starter inhibitor switch on the clutch pedal prevents the engine cranking unless the clutch is pressed on manual Discovery Sport, Freelander 2 and Range Rover Evoque models. It's a safety switch that stops the car lurching if it's started in gear.
Does this switch fit automatic models?
No, this starter inhibitor switch fits manual gearbox models only. It suits the Discovery Sport, Freelander 2, Evoque L538 and Evoque L551 with the M66, BG6 or JLR M66 manual gearboxes. Automatic models use a different starting interlock, so check your transmission before ordering.
What are the signs the clutch switch has failed?
A failed starter inhibitor switch usually stops the engine cranking even with the clutch fully pressed, or lets it crank without the pedal down, on manual Discovery Sport, Freelander 2 and Evoque models. Intermittent no-start faults are common. Replacing the switch restores reliable clutch-pedal starting.
