My VT has recently hit 160 000 k's
And with that has come the dash lights turning on randomly whilst I'm driving, as well as it being hard to start, ie cranking but stalling and only starting after about 3/4 turns.


Someone please help. :(

what kind of vt is it??

my mate has a vx calais and that started happening to him... the abs, power steering, traction control.. it all turns off..

turned out to be the abs switch. at first he could get out of the car. pop the bonnet and give it a bit of a hit and it will turn back on, but then he got it fixed

If it the Engine, ABS and Traction lights, then it could well be the ABS module, very common fault. I've heard that in extreme cases it can screw with other electrical equipment.

Yep, it's the ABS Module. And you're right, apparently it's really common, scared the sh*t out of me the first time it happened.
Thanks for your help.
