2006 Diesel 2200cc, 100k
Twice it's done this:
Turn the key and all the correct lights come on, next position should start it. But there's nothing more - no turning over, no noise whatsoever, not even a clunk, no dimming of panel lights.
After about 30 seconds and half a dozen more tries, it fires and starts as normal.
Today I tried shoving it in 3rd and rocking in case the starter was jammed - no effect.
Then I turned the headlights on to see if they dimmed, and it happened to start next turn - probably coincidence.
First time, the engine was stone cold, this time slightly warm.
So it's behaving as though there's a bad connection somewhere between the ignition key switch and the starter itself.
Any clues what it might be, or how I could try to diagnose if it does it again?
