Twice this week my 2001 hdi has played up first time switch on all ok go to start and dash dies nothing happens and day date display reverts to starting position. Tried several times and it eventually started.
Second time was today same thing happened key in first position all dash kit up fine go to start and dash dies and nothing, today it just wouldn't have it, in desperation I disconnected the battery positive and edited a minute then reconnected and it started.
Any clue what might be happening??

Re: Failure to start
Duff connection on the battery or leads, battery dying, ignition switch going up the swanny?

Re: Failure to start
+1. Check and clean the battery connections first.
