The dreaded auto shift lock raised its ugly head!

Like most owners the black button is awol, and this is the 1st time I’ve had a start fail.

I managed the screwdriver trick but there was no joy getting the engine started just a light click from under the bonnet.

As I’ve been charging the battery I was surprised. It showed reasonable charge level on charging control panel, (camper van conversion.

I hooked up my power pack, still no joy.

I managed to get gear lever into neutral & voila, a start!

 

Now it’s back to non starting, not even turning with or without power pack.

 

Any hints/advice most welcome!

Update!

Long story short, it lives!

Under the bonnet hunting for fuses, gave battery cables a tweek, +ve one had slight movement on eyelet connector, clamp was tight on batt. post.

Quick tighten up and viola, she runs.

Batt. charging levels in pics attached.

Things are looking up!
