Starter Motor On-going Problem
With the new starter motor now installed and working well we were surprised to find we were intermittently having problems with the starter not being activated when pressing the start button. It seemed to be an electrical connection problem.
Isaac checked the wiring and replaced the relays. He has also installed an emergency start button for our peace of mind while he continues to track down the intermittent fault.
