I'm not sure. It did it once, a few days after I earthed the unit, but never since. If it happens in the next few days, I'm blaming you for mentioning it. Wink

Like I said bad wiring into the underseat compartment Whistle easy thing to do is give it a wiggle under there next time it doesn't start, hard fix is to book it into a good auto electrician Thumbs Up

I have had the same problem. With me it was a bad connection at the as10.
But I had more problems with bad connections as mine had swimming lessons in deep brown water?:

Yep the 10AS wires go up over the gearbox and run in a ribbed conduit with nothing covering the wires really seeing this a lot on them now. The header blocks giving problems too.

A header block is basically I guess a junction box for wires like earths. Eg the White one on the bulkhead beside the brake Servo or the one beside the ECU under the drivers seat. They look like plastic moulded rectangles.
