Won't Start

[davidloveshismeg]

Hey All,

Jumped into the meg this morning to head to work, and she didnt start! The car does not even attempt to turn over.

First thing I thought was the battery, but im pretty sure thats not the problem as when I put the key in, press start, the ignition makes the usual click and the dash lights come on. The radio comes on too and all the electric windows are working as normal (not sluggish at all).

Has anyone any idea of what may be wrong?

Cheers
Dave

Have you tried pressing brake pedal to start Dave. I had a wire come off the switch when I used to press the clutch it wouldnt start but when i pressed the brake it started.

Hey,

Yea I have tried both clutch and brake pedals to no avail! Hoping it is not an ignition/electrical issue

Hi, you have probably thought of this, but are you attempting to start with car in gear ?

[davidloveshismeg]

Have tried in gear with clutch in, out of gear with clutch in, all the combos possible!

Hmmm, running out of ideas, have you tried "rocking" the car in gear in case starter motor not engaged (or seized).

No I havnt gave that a go yet. Will give that a go when I get home and see if its a problem with the starter!

Cheers for the help

After a couple of hours at the car last night I am at a loss to what is wrong, so it is off the the garage today to be looked at. Will post some details incase someone else has the same problem!
