Troubador1966 Member 4 Member For: 11y 2d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 15/04/13 12:52 PM Share Posted 15/04/13 12:52 PM Can anyone help out please, my beloved Xr6t is not starting? It did this a couple of weeks ago and I had to leave it overnight at a local servo. Went back late the next day and it started, also last week only this time I persisted by jiggling ignition and pushing auto shift from neutral to park. It took about 10 minutes or so before luckily started. I read a post regarding F6 button not starting and wonder if this is the starter motor??Fortunately it's in my drive this time!

Troubador1966 Member 4 Member For: 11y 2d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 16/04/13 02:46 AM Author Share Posted 16/04/13 02:46 AM Thanks guys, I have checked the battery connections again, there is nothing at all (not turning over) all instrument lights and command centre appear and I haven't had any trouble with radio turning off or engine cutting off whilst driving recently. I also haven't noticed any of the warning lights being on whilst driving! It gives the normal click when key turned but no turn over?? I have to confess I know zero mechanically but love these cars! I'm thinking I need to get someone to look at it. I was hoping there was an easy fix and thought maybe this could be a common problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random starting issues, usually when it was hot. It was the the starter motor, it finally died, replaced it, never had another issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the terminals on the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
