Title: Edition 30 starting issue
Post by: editionjgg on August 27, 2012, 08:31:48 pm
Hi guys and girls....

Been meaning to join up for a little while but havent got round to it till today.

Was hoping you could shed a little light on an issue I have with the 30. I can drive it fine bring it home and park it up, start stop it without issue but then randomly jump in, turn the key and nothing. Just a click from starter motor area. Tried giving it a tap thinking there may be an issue there but nothing. Took the battery off, reconnected it then off it went  :laugh:

Came to it today and again go to start it..... Nothing. Disconnected battery terminal, reconnected and ....... Nothing  :confused:

Aagain gave it a tap tried locking and unlocking and hey presto it started again.... Anyone got a similar issue or come across this before?

Thanks Graham Thirsk North Yorks
