Help I'm at my wits end with this dam car. Last wk my car wounldn't start , so I had to call the AA out to it. they managed to get me going with a blast of easy start into the drivers side bagpipe and jumpstart. This kept me going for about 4/5 starts and then the  process would have to be redone. On the final call out to the AA the lad his own code reader P0043 , P0705 ,P0300 , P0302 ,P0304.

So far I have replaced the fuel pump and both relays and both sets of coil packs. and still the bloody thing wont start.

The other problem is I think the auto selector switch has a fault on it and needs cleaning but I don't have the confidence in my myself to do this job.

Any ideas on what I should be doing next to it

I'm not far from you, happy to come take a look

Bet crank sensor wire is fried!

James,  You have a pm,also.

I have been thinking about the crank sensor  but I thought my problem wouldn't relate to a crank sensor as  it hasn't broken down while it has been moving. Its only when you switch off its a 50/50 chance or getting it restarted.

Easystart?! Cripes. Rather you than me.

Quite

Be lucky if it ever starts again...

Yes, I suggest you find said person and insert said can of easy start up their arse and light it

So who would go for a new crank sensor then, to resolve this problem ??

Likely failed crank sensor

Lets just hope the easy start that the easy moron used hasn't done any damage

UPDATE, UPDATE... Don't worry, there wont be another one going to the big crusher in some scrapyard very soon  as after a small trip over to our friend in Heathrow, the  crank sensor he gave me did the trick and we are now back up and running.

I still need to do the auto selector switch, But As I have said , I have no confidence in my self in doing this myself , as I don't or cant grasp what needs to be done from the guide. So if anybody local wants to spoon feed me the info while they drink a nice cup of tea and get some beer tokens as well  , while I'm  getting dirty then please contact me and name ya price. I will also drive to you so if you want you cant stand there in ya slippers if ya want.
