I've had my Sapph 20 months now and always wondered why everyone kept complaining about reliability. I was out in the car last night for a blast and it is amazing now so I went to take it over to my parents this afternoon, got into it, turned the key and nothing I tried the lights, washers, windows etc and they were fine so I put a meter across the battery and it was 11.8v so I locked it up and went to my parents in my other car.

Got home and called the AA and they came out and diagnosed the fault







A snapped wire for the starter motor Someone in the past has added a new piece of wire that was thin and where it joined the connector it had snapped lol

The AA guy replaced that and it fired straight up and purred away

Anyone else had anything so daft go wrong?
