Basically, it started, drove to work and then when I went to go home there was nothing, everything worked bar the engine

Battery is fully charged and it bump starts but then when you stop it won't start again.

I just got it home and when i turned it off and tried to start it, it started! but I just know it'll be my luck tomorrow that it won't start in the morning.

Any ideas? Battery is fine, alternator too, so is the starter motor lol.

 

check the wiring that goes to the starter make sure it hasnt been burnt

does the engine turno ver or nothing at all

if nothing then its either starter wiring or starter

 

Is it turning over?

 

Ha beat me to it dude

 

When it plays up, no, it won't turn over. Wiring looks bang on. Think I'm going to stick a new starter on it at the weekend, see if that sorts it.

 

as above it will be the thin wire that goes to the starter motor more than likely a bad connection!


ps before you go under trying to check/take the wires off etc disconnect the battery 1st

 

Have you tried hitting the starter motor with something solid?

 

Amen may be a dodgy wire you tried a swift bang to the starter motor lol try and free it up

 

starter motor defo

 

Could be the turbo overheating the starter motor - I had this happen to me quite alot with my old FRST.

Well it sat for 2 days and still wouldn't work. Just tried it again 3 hours later and it works. Christ knows whats going on..

Will see if it works in the morning.
