[doc] Re: Non Start - Advice Please




Hi All

Thanks for all your advice, I failed in the end so had the wonderfull
AA take the car to DMUK today.

Although I haven't got it back yet, I am pleased to report that once
again Martin, Andy and the team resolved it in about an hour -
ballast resistor and a new cap and rotor arm to be sure !

Thanks guys,

Cheers
