Title: Edition 30 starting issue
Post by: swight on October 21, 2017, 06:21:01 pm

I have a 2007 Edition 30, the starter motor seems a bit slow to turn over, and sometimes it stops then restarts. Thinking it was the starter motor I have just changed it for a new Bosch unit.

No difference, still getting the same problem.  :thinking:

Any ideas please?

Battery?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I think the battery needs investigating. It may have a cell off, which could cause this.
