This is unreal! @Catteeclan......what do you make of this shit?

Yesterday morning car won't start. Lunchtime it starts. Teatime won't start.

This morning it doesn't start, mid afternoon it starts, teatime it starts......so we took it to feed the horses and it was running as normal.

Has to be something electrical surely?

My boss got four class wins out of four races last week at Cadwell, he is leading the championship at the moment .

 

 

Iam going (hopefully 😂) for the day out and a look around, no racing (from what I gather) just some old and new era bikes buzzing around the track.

Red Arrows just flown over, the buggers were early. 😂 

They flew over the rally yesterday, we also had a visit from a Spitfire who buzzed the rally field a couple of times.

The BBMF Hurricane was supposed to fly over here yesterday.

But it skirted around Mansfield...........thought he was going to get his wheels nicked. 😂

It's all electric so yes.
I'm guessing it's not an immobiliser fault and something from the ign switch to/or the starter. Your man will prob start with a diag to rule out said immobiliser and go from there.

Oxidisation of the battery terminals being affected by heat and humidity, pull the terminals, clean the connectors and battery posts with light emery paper, use some dielectric grease and refit.

Fucking thing started this morning......and kept on starting. Jesus reckons it could be battery related as well......and possibly starter motor.

So to be absolutely sure, instead of splashing out cash, I've got to wait for it not to start and he'll come to the house to check.

We've gone from praying for it to start to praying for it not to start.

If there's any doubt we'll replace the battery by the end of the week as a precaution.

We've had the car for over five years with the same battery......and no idea how long it was on there before that.

My Dacia,s battery lasted 7 years (I think it was the original one fitted) before it failed.

Came home from work, then went out 20 mins latter and flat as the proverbial.

It will something simple, duff battery, corroded connection somewhere.

I hate electrical faults, a duff component looks OK....a mechanical fault you can see what's is broke/snapped/fooked  😂

On to other news, a tree over our fence is slowly leaning more and more, it's heading in the direction of my shed, if it comes down it will wipe out 2 fences and I think my shed will get hit too. 😔
