Here is a crank no start on a VZ.
This particular one is becoming common as all the VZ’s age. Odd how particular faults become common as the years go on.

Car starts when the starter is jumped.

Of note here, it’s important to understand that this is not the only cause of this problem. Neutral Saftey switch, wiring faults, bad relays, ignition switch issues, corrupted key, faulty PIM are also possible causes.

This shows excellent process to verify the fault and get an evidence based diagnosis of the fault.

I posted it incase any Mexicans needed theirs looked at. That workshop does some quality diagnostics. That is a very rare thing.

They also do module repairs and repairs to circuit boards and clusters. They get sent stuff from all over Australia to be fixed.

"Have a Dirty Old VZ in Today"
WTF !
He can go _____ himself !

"He wants work/business, and to be paid for his work and knowledge,
not his comments of the vehicle he has to work on"

Sorry @Fu Manchu,
If it was me, being that I am self employed and advertising,
I would NEVER talk of a customers car like that.
