PLEASE take the time out to read this, much appreciated to all saxo finatics.
Recently bought a new vts. Runs perfectly when engine is on an drives really nicely.
Every now and then, seems to be after a fair amount of driving not just short small journeys, ill turn the engine off and when I try to run it back on fairly soon after turning off, it doesn't seem to turn over. It clicks when trying to turn over but its not clicking its just every time you turn the key there's one click and like its just dead. Not the battery. Considered it being the starter motor 'dying' and considered it being the ecu / immobiliser.
No one seems to know what it is or be able to diagnose it properly an every time I try to start it and try get the problem it starts up perfect every time. Like I say it seems to be after longish journeys like 5+ miles not just trips round the corner.
Only happens every now and then but every time it happens I have to essentially jump start it in second gear with the clutch but sitting still.
When it fails its just one click and the dashboard has circles on it like when loading. Anyone had this before or have any idea whatsoever it could be please? Don't really want to get an expensive diagnostic at the garage for them to replace th starter motor and find out its not even that and have the same problem.
Any suggestions massively appreciated.
Like I said after long rest periods it NEVER seems to my start.
No problems other than this. Help
