I cleaned my pins up and didnt solve the issue. I thought main consensus was that its the earth in the boot?

Wheels look tiny on that trophy!

Problem seems to have changed since then haha, very odd. Assume it's all linked though.

@bloke @MicKPM Was your advice based on the videos, out of curiosity?

Does look lovely! What spacers are they?

Definitely not you, king piss taker! b*****d :(

Thanks everyone for their advice!

Good result. Pics will be good!

I did think as much. Its been perfect today, any more issues and i'll take it to Rentech for a good look over.

That car is proper basic and budget. Doesnt look sporty in any way, and looks like a mundane family school run car. Looks very Kia-esque.

Yeah, very pricey some people! Im booked in for the spoiler on Jan 26th, and considering getting the front bumper sprayed as I bought it used, described as 'mint', which it definitely isnt. The same guy has quoted between £140-£220 for the front bumper depending on prior condition.

Loving the new maps. Some crazy maps which I forgot about like Pipeline.

Just gone out, car started perfectly on the button about 10 times in a row, no issue. I still cleaned up the battery terminals and pushed the positive down a bit. Negative wire seems to look okay and connected etc with no obvious corrosion. Opened the fuse box, but ive got no idea which one to...

I just have no mechanical knowledge at all, ive always just chucked my car to my mechanic friend and bought him a few beers after. My mum has bought me a tool set for xmas I think so im gonna try and learn a bit more. Just google'd how to check a fuse too, thanks mate.

I'll have a look mate. Sorry to be stupid. When you say check the fuses, what am I looking for to recognise a broken one?

Haha bizarre fix! Thinking about it, I had my drivers door open the whole time whilst trying to start.

Ah, that thing. Will have a look. Silly question maybe.. is it okay to use brake cleaner on stuff like that to 'clean'?

Thank you mate. First link doesnt really apply as mine was still turning over. Second link.. where/what are the relays?

Which cable mate? Sorry :(

No mate, no spare key. Just annoying how it's so intermittent. Gonna have a look in the morning, hopefully it starts.

No idea what that is!

I shall have a look mate. Thanks. Anyone else got any suggestions after watching the vids?

I'm going to start Chris Beer idea tomorrow morning then work my way through suggestions. The issue is that its so tempremental, and its currently working so I wont know if Ive solved it until it randomly dies again!

No spare key and not had it plugged in mate. Ive had 3.5years of 100% reliability because I havent touched it. I fit a steering wheel and the cars wants to die :(

Yeah thats what I thought. Seems different to the previous problem I had mentioned at the start of this thread. What would cause the immoboliser to stay on, and then suddenly work?

This is the one where the car wasnt doinng anything when I was turning the key. Then it started turning over.. (next vid) Shortly after it fired up and was all normal.

I didnt even see that mate! I will definitely give it a go. Risked it and went to the gym, and luckily it started fine on return too. If the alternator was dead then wouldnt my battery be completely flat? Looking over the videos I dont think the immoboliser light went out, but why would it...

How could it short? Would have to be alot of movement wouldnt there? I think the immobilser went out. Ive got a vid but no idea how to upload!

Hasnt been driven since Sunday, when all was fine. Just went to go to the gym, key in, no lights on dash, nothing. Key out, key back in, and yay it was turning over trying to start but it would just stop trying, not like it was struggling, it would just stop turning over suddenly. Looked at...

Personally i'd say its too nice to butcher!
