So, just driven 150 miles from Brize Norton to Lincoln, pulled into the Spar carpark to buy bread and milk (although that's not important to the story...) came out the shop, got in car, turned key and all dash lights came on as normal, but moment I tried to turn the starter everything cut out and went dead, no lights, couldn't lock car, couldn't open boot etc.
The AA was gonna take 2hrs so I called a mate to come look, he said the engine was very warm and had a wiggle of the fuses under the cover, also the battery terminals. Tried the engine again, and got nothing, but a few minutes later I managed to get all the lights on in the car, but again couldn't get it to turn over....
5 minutes later I tried the engine again and got it going.... Nursed the car home and had no issues since.
All coolant/oil levels etc are fine, 1/4 tank of Vpower, oil temp fine, any ideas?
My dad thinks possibly battery connections (bad/loose earth) or failing that a starter solenoid issue.
Would be grateful for any advice or idea's. Anything is better than my mate who turned up, got out his van and said 'this is why women should not drive cars like these'... Tw4t
Cheers guys!
