hi folks,
Problem started yesterday. Turned ignition key but nothing happened. Locked then unlocked car and hey presto started up but m & s lights flashing so crawled home. Turned it off and started again then it was fine but had same m & s lights later in day - again intermittently.
Searched forums and read about loom into ecu getting oily. Had a look this morning but it appeared fine, although i gave it some wd40 anyway. Checked all other wiring that i could see for rubbing but no sign. Put all back together tried to start but starter motor isnt turning over and m and s lights still flashing. Im pretty sure the battery is fine as headlights dont dim. Could this be the starter motor itself? There werent any other references to this on other m and s light threads. Gnition position 2 warning light also seems to stay on for a few seconds longer than normal.
I have had an issue with oil leaks recently and have changed rocker cover gasket, sump gasket and various other seals.
