Clutha Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 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!

Clutha Posted November 21, 2023 Author Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) 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! Edited November 21, 2023 by Clutha Duplicated in error 1
