197 push start?

[mark1989]

hi all i have a 197 with the push start, you normaly have to put your foot on the brake pedal for it to start but now all of a sudden its letting it start with just the clutch down? is this a fault any help would be great, something doesnt seem right.

Clutch or brake pedal mate

Yeah, that's what I thought - I favour clutch as I tend to leave vehicles in-gear.

Yup and me

Iirc the handbook does not mention the clutch, only the brake lol

It should start on either. Iv had this fault before on a 197. Make sure the wires arnt broken on the switches. Make sure the brake lights work? Also the rear wiper and the boot opens?
