Hi guys
I've had some problems with my VT not wanting to start.
I originally thought it was the battery because it sounded a bit sluggish when I started it over the last few weeks. I checked the battery voltage (on the dash - don't have a multimeter). When the car is running, it's 14.2, when off it's 11.4. The light on the battery is green too. We have been able to jump start the car a few times, but that doesn't always work, so now I don't think the battery is causing the problem. Both the battery and alternator are less than a year old.
I know that my ignition switch has been broken for ages - had to manually turn the key back after starting the car. Could this be the problem? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks.
