Lord Shagg-Pyle:
The problem is this:
Went to start the beast this morning and it doesn't want to play. It had started and run perfectly the day before
Dash lights all ok, turn the key, nothing.
Battery full of juice 12.54V to be precise.
When key is turned, there are a couple of clicks from inside the dash (presume relays), but nothing from the starter.

My thoughts are this:
1) broken connection somewhere.
2) knackered starter (please God, not that)
3) Immobiliser stuck on.

The third one causes me concern, as I have never used the alarm/key pad to lock the car, hence not set the immobiliser? Can they be by-passed/done away with?

Any theories or solutions, either post or PM me.
Ta in anticipation,

LSP

ChrisW:
Check the small cable onto the starter motor is good, the connection is tight and finally smack the starter motor with something big and heavy  :lol:

Buddha:
I second ChrisW's post - precisely your symptoms, car started on the button everytime, pop to the shops, get back to the car & dead as a door nail - all solved by cleaning the connection.
