Hi guys, just joined - so firstly "Hello".
56 plate 2.0 jtd in rather a fetching red colour.
I had an issue earlier that kinda foxed me.
Only had the van a short while, but absolutely no issues at all, until turning the key to start position this morning and nothing happened.
Unlocked on the remote in the usual way, all dash lights etc in the usual way in the first positions but starting position produced not even a click.
Turned on interior lights and tried again - no dimming at all.
So, clearly starter solenoid not engaging - but likely no power to the solenoid either.
Attempted probably a dozen times, standing on one leg, pulling funny faces, talking nicely to it etc, but still nothing.
Went to get a bit of wire to hot wire on to the starter motor solenoid, but tried one last time and the monkey started !!
So then, does this sound familiar to anyone here ?
Thanks to all.
