A day under the car with it jacked up steeply in order to replace the Clutch Cable.. I rolled it out of the Garage without starting it.. Job done, lowered then attempted to drive out and test.... Miserable thing would spin nicely but not fire up... A real Puzzle.. Had i touched something under it or had the problem arisen from being driven again and again over the nasty cracks on the southern stretch of the M25 the night before..!
So far the possibilities that can be excluded are the DME Relay, tried a new one.. Steering Ignition Switch, replaced... I have removed one HT lead tested for a spark on the Engine Casing with no obvious visible Spark or Smell of unburnt fuel..
Turning over quite a few times and it kicked in as if nothing had happened.. No misfire and ran well... Switched it off and again the problem persisted and continues..
Next, i'm suspicious of the Bosch Alarm, checked leads and cleaned fittings.. Awaiting a second hand cheepi from Germany just to try out..
I hope i'm not going toward the ECU itself... Any ideas anyone.. Where next before I have to bite the bullet and get her lifted to a suitable establishment in Surrey..!!
Cheers
