Llanigraham Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Check the earth leads on the starter. Check the condition of the ignition barrel, as there are faults being reported with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black-ibex Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Could be the fuel pump under the bonnet (near to the fuse box). It will not fire up if the fuel pressure is low. Next time it turns over and does not fire, try hitting/tapping the pump. This sometimes brings it back to life temporarily and it will start.
