Looking for some advice on an intermittent starting problem on my TD4. It's started to happen maybe 1 in 3 attempts to start. It's like the battery is dead with nothing when the ignition is turned, but then try 2 or 3 more times and it'll fire into life.

I had the same problem 3 years ago and had to call the AA. He had a look and found it be some corrosion on a connection - a common problem he thought. A quick clean up and voila 3 years with no problem. However, I've no idea which connection, or where to find it!

If anyone has any idea it would be much appreciated. Save me a trip to the garage, or getting stranded when it won't turnover at all!!

Thanks

probably where the thin wire connects onto the back of the starter motor - its the live feed but its only a spade connector that connects it - take it off and give it a clean then push it back on well, it happens to me now and again.

Think the clue may be "back of starter motor" If you don't know what or where the starter motor is get help.
