Ropata Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Cheers. I will test it in the morning but it has done this a few times and then just started so I suspect it might be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropata Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Battery is fine. Wondering if it's the ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did you say it does start eventually?The pressing of the brake switch is very strange indeed. Makes me think it might be some kind of earthing issue, although I wouldn't rule out the ignition switch. I can see why James thought it was the battery because when my battery died I had similar experiences of the clocks clearing etc.That said, I feel if the ignition switch was ballsed it shouldn't be clearing the clocks like that. It looks as though there is a short causing the current to drain which causes the fragging of the clocks.Get the column off, let's have a look at the ignition switch.

Ropata Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks for that. Does this model Lupo need the whole steering column to come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
