Unusual Electrical Fault
Hi all,
this happened some time ago, but i thought it would be a good thing to alert people about it. I drove for two hours without any probs, to a campsite, got out to book in. When i returned to the car, and tried to start it, nothing! Dash lights OK but not starting. When the RAC arrived they found that the Engine earth strap had corroded and become detatched at the connection to the chassis. Some, in your general checks / servicing, check the earth strap for corrosion, and integrety.
