Starting to get slightly upset now....!
Discussion
Well I thought it was all over, it is now....
Driving on a glorious day yesterday and cruising down the dual carriageway when suddenly car loses all power, ignition lights above and below speedo come on and car slowly grinds to a halt. Try to turn it over and it turns but no spark and does not sound like fuel pump is working...
Had a quick fiddle with the immobiliser putting fob in and out of the little slot below the ignition key slot (lost the pressle for the alarm a long time ago!!) and de-activated the immobiliser. Again no fuel pump but starter motor started.
Called RAC and found there to be no spark which was a result of a virtually complete loss of electrics to the main relay switches upstream, hence no fuel pump and no ignition coil supply.
Trailered to Peninsula :( then within two miutes she is running again having reset the immobiliser (did not understand exactly how!!) and new relays fitted. All smiles again for approx 50 miles when exactly the same happened again. Fiddled for ages with fuse box and relays then fuel pump came on and off intermittently...finally turned over and started.
Peninsula cant do anything til end of Sept...any ideas until then? :ears:
