Good day Joe Thanks for your very quick response. Please see below. strange on, what happens when you press the throttle ( Nothing no acceleration ) have you plugged in a code reader and checked accelerator position sensor alters when you press the pedal ( I have a small unit I purchased from UK but no very good and it is not indicating and fault) A local garage used their instrument which was much more sophisticated than mine but again no fault was seen) have you tried turning the key to position 2 and pressing the accelerator all the way down, slowly 3 times, before starting it ( I assume that the key in the OFF position i.e. when you have just inserted the key into the lock is position 1 - is this correct) please note presently I am in my office in Vietnam my car is at my main home in Miri Borneo so I will try and get someone to try this method.) do you have any fault codes (No as explained above Joe) Many thanks stewart

Previous problem - car would not start due to steering lock malfunction - after much checking without and progress I replaced ALL electronic modules -Ign key and lock - Full dash board display etc all from one donor car (comparable with my cars VIN chassis etc details). Now everything works except once started in will only run on idle - ?? appreciate any help suggestions ect thanks

Hi Raislin i think we are getting somewhere - as mentioned in my opening post the local garage here ( small garage) in his limited English spoke something about the steering lock and asked if I had ? Code - I’m not sure what he was referring too - but from your post it seems he could be on the right trail - do you know what code he could be referring too- and if yes where would I obtain same many thanks Stewart

Hi Gareth ok changed the key battery but - still the same problem - is there a relay somewhere that maybe loose or had bad connections thanks Stewart

Hi Peter thanks for your email - Ok the brief!! at first I thought it was the battery problem so tried to jump start (!! I know) but nothing - checked batteries found to be good. So I thought maybe a bad battery connection opened up terminals cleaned put back and - started no problem - all cured - so I thought - tried to start again an hour or so later - nothing turn the key no click sound nothing same as before, SOO cleaned the battery terminal again - nothing !! as above no click sound - came back the next day tried to start and it did start immediately So Im thinking of a loose or dry connection somewhere - relay - or starter connection terminal - or bad earth somewhere or possible the actual ignition switch itself.

Hi this will be my first post . Car location Borneo Problem:-recently - Intermittent starting - when attempting to start turning the ignition key most times nothing happens - no clicking nothing - then when I try again the car starts as normal - the garage here in Miri Borneo said it could be the steering lock problem ? - note the battery is fine - any input would be appreciated
