mate dont turn over i have all lights thta should come on do when you turn the key but i tryed about 15mins latter started no prob ...wiered

[wildoliver]

bad earth. or solenoid.

[bovered79]

Cool thanks ok where would you start...

[wildoliver]

keep a jump lead in the boot. Next time it happens connect jump lead from neg terminal on battery to engine block, if it starts no probs it is a bad earth and will be an earth cable.

If not connect from pos terminal to main post on starter motor, if it turns then it is solenoid. Only do this part if you understand exactly what I mean otherwise you may set fire to your car.
