Morning all.

My Nob (2.5) has decided to throw a wobbly. Went to start it this morning and it made all the usual noises, fired then died. Tried again a couple of times finally and got it to tickover ok but it won't rev. As soon as I open the throttle it fluffs and dies. The battery is fine - I keep it on a trickle charger. Have checked the 4 bulkhead fuses and the ones in the footwell and all seem ok but noticed that the handbrake warning light isn't working either although I suppose that could be coincidence.

I haven't washed the car or had it out in the rain and it ran perfectly on Wednesday when I last used it so at a complete loss as to where to start!

Any pointers gratefully received.

Cheers,

Bill

Yes. It runs for about 2 seconds then stops. Trouble is, i can't remember if that's normal or not.

Thanks.

Sorted!! Just been out for a blat and given it the berries. All back to normal. Thanks Tuxman. Probably a clumsy initial start up and then a touch of new owner paranoia rolleyes

Cheers,

Bill
