Hi All
A few of us set off for the Algarve last Saturday and on the first day in Spain the 04 Blackbird wouldn't start at the first fuel stop. We got it bump started and at the overnight stop took a closer look and determined it was the solenoid that was the problem so had a new one shipped out to our destination near Villamoura and bump started it for 3 days on the way down.
This morning we replaced the solenoid it started first time but that was it at the second attempt it just killed all the power.
This is what's happening:
1. Ignition on and everything powers up and FI light goes off
2.PRess the starter button and everything goes off including the clock
3. Switch ignition off and clock comes back on
We have rigged an independent earth for the battery and that has made no difference.
Its an 04 bird with no special mods just run the odd heated jacket and gps etc but all those are disconnected at the moment
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
