Once home I turned it off, locked it, then unlocked it and started it, it started fine, I reversed down the driveway and drove back in and everything is working fine again. Does anyone know what's going on?Will be seeing a mechanic 2moro, last service was only 600kms ago, battery and alternator replaced about 5000kms agoIt's a bf2 f6 ute.Any help will be mu hoy appreciated

Intermittent; but I think I found a loose earth and after Ive torqued it back up everything seems good. Can't say that was the exact cause however, I think mine was a canbus fault as it didnt throw a code. 1
