Starting Problem

<< < (2/2)

colheath:
honestly I've no idea Jimmy.  It's been good as gold again today.  Am using it for towing the van to Devon for Easter weekend so hope it behaves itself!   

Disco Matt:
Might be an idea to get it sorted - last place you want it to cut out is while towing a caravan at 60mph on the motorway...

If it is the alarm spider then it's not too bad a job. You just need to work methodically and keep track of all the screws. Mine took about half an hour to do.

You can apparently resolder the dry joints in the spider unit, but knowing my luck if I did that then another couple of joints would go bad as soon as I'd finished reassembling the dashboard!  :lol:

muddyjames:
and I would have thought if an auto box looses engine power at 60mph it wont do it any favours. Just my thought. And dont slam it into P if it does!!!

Do you mean when you turned the key to the on position there was no ignition lights ? If so then check your battery terminals are tight and the earths are ok

no, meant there were no lights on the dash.

I've ran it every day since and it's been fine, starting first time.  Thanks for the advice fellas I'll report back with any news.
