| Starting Issue Solved Quickly ! |
|
Hi all !
Came home friday afternoon, after 9 weeks away ( On a Tanker Vessel )
Decided to take the Car out for a Spin in the late afternoon, all ok. Started fine.  ( -14 deg )
( Had the FBH running 40 Min, Before attempting Start, also Charger Connected CTEK 10
I know i have to change my Glowplugs ) 
Anyway all was OK friday, parked in the middle of the night, connected Charger again, All fine.
Late Saturday afternoon, promised my Brother to collect him,
as we were invited to a 50 Year B'day Celebration Party of a sort.
Started FBH, Running fine.. But when trying to start the Engine..
No Crank. Just " Click "  Tried a different approach, Connected Big CTEK 25, tried again..
Same result " Click ". After some different approaches, i gave up, My brother collected me instead with his RRS ! 
Later in the evening, spent two hours in the Cold trying again..Checking all fuses with Dig Volt Meter.
Lifting all relays. but same results just a " Click " in relays, and nothing else.
Read codes with IID Tool, no faults to be concerned with. Gave up freezing no feeling in my hands - 18 deg outside..
Went home sulking, started Computer, browsed this fantastic Forum, and found some answers to others problem.
Also watched A.J.S's video with his starting problem, and found mine was behaving exactly the same. Just " Click " and no crank.
Checked a few more posts, Found one interesting about fuse no 30 in Engine Bay ( Starter Fuse ).
Came out late afternoon today, FBH running so Engine was starting to get hot. Tried to start again .. " Click "
Opened Bonnet removed fuse 30 that was measured to be ok, put fuse back and tried to start again..
And hey Presto Started like normal
Now i have been out for a few hours, doing some shopping and so, started fine everytime now 
So Conclusion ! Dont give Up. Search and Read the Forum.  
Regards
Jan. Jan R.

I'd disagree that it was quickly resolved, 2 hours at -18 sounds like a lifetime 
kudos on your perseverance
