Hi Guys,
MK1 172, I was sitting in my car, in a car park waiting for someone. (BTW - The car had been working perfectly for the drive to the car park.)
I was sitting with the ignition turned off, but was listening to the radio. Was waiting for about 15 minutes when all of a sudden my radio turned itself off.
Strange I thought, so I tried turning it off and on again, didn't work.
So then I tried to start the car and all the lights on dashboard went crazy, but the car wouldn't start, I tried starting again about ten times, same thing happened with the lights, but the car still wouldn't start.
I went to look for the person I was waiting for, and when I returned to the car I tried to start it again. This time the dashboard lights didn't go crazy but came on as usual, however the car still wouldn't start.
I had a look at the fuses and as far as I can tell they are all OK.
So I'm guessing it's either the starter motor or maybe something wrong with the immobiliser...
Anyone got any other ideas...?
