So I've had the 300TDi 110 for about a week now, and aside from a few minor issues (still can't get the window up, still not sure what;s hiding under the amateur waxoyl, still a little nervous about the bodged bulkhead repair) it's started instantly every time and has good road manners.
Until yesterday when we had to get to a Christening (where my other half was godmother), and it decided not to start. 3 hours later I'd lost my temper and we'd missed the Christening, and it still won't start this morning. You can imagine how popular that has been.
Battery is good, fuses all fine, no obvious voltage reaching the starter though. No warning lights, no clicks, just nothing when you turn from ignition to start. Having read through the forum I decided the spider might be to blame and went to investigate it... Looking in the battery compartment, I found the attached - no obvious module but what looks like a cut off multi-plug.
It's a 97 300Tdi, with a small red LED in the centre of the instrument cluster - can I assume from this that the Spider has been removed? Or has it been butchered and left me with even more problems?!
