Watching the pretty orange lights

[Topper_Harley]

Hi, sitting at the side if the road watching my hazard light awaiting the high viz man.
Chimaera 4.0 cut out as I joined a roundabout in a dual carriageway. Replaced the dashboard fuse about 45 mins ago after all instruments went dead.
Now it will prime the pump, the starter turns over but the beast won't fire up. Anything I can try while I wait?


A31 is quite busy tonight....

If it's safe to do so then all I can think of is checking as many connections as you can see, check coil connections etc, good luck

Cheers chimi. No joy for me but that implies the dude could fix it and my weekend would be rescued

Try bashing the the left side top of the dash in line with the heater controls whilst trying to start. Could be immobilisor relay related - worth a try.

It's swearing at a church roof or a fishing weight - what else?

It must be the starter cable surely? That long red lead I'm getting replayed

Main lead from coil to distributor, methinks

No need for a spare, it had just jumped off. Took 20 seconds to fix and is now known as the 'king lead!
