how can i fix my astra 54 old shape diesel? it wont start?
recenlty bought the car vaux astra cdti 54 plate old shape. one day started the car and it would not start or do anything. had sum 1 look at it and they advised it was the starter motor.
Replaced the starter motor and car was fine for 2 weeks or so ..
BUT now have turned the ignition and car starts up but turns off straight away. turned the key a second time and no power.
cant get it to start. eventually got it started using jump leads. thought might be battery - changed for a new one and nothing. still would not start same problem.
dont know what is wrong with it? diagnostic check comes back fine . car jst wont start dont know what to do with it ? please help
Check cable connection on your starter. if that is tight remove and clean it up with emery paper (or the side of a match box will do). If the fault still occurs it could be a faulty ignition switch. you could check this by bypassing the swicth, but you need to be clued up to do this. you could also disconnect the imobiliser to imliminate that;.
