Right this is a weird one, i have just been given another series 3 as a project to get going and through its mot. it hadnt been started for about 3 years but after a morning tinkering the old girl came back to life and runs sweet as a nut. Only problem is now when i turn the key nothing happens (all the ignition lights come on but nothign else happens) its as if there is no power gettin to the starter motor but then if i bridge the gap between the solenoid and the starter motor with a spanner so it makes a spark and then turn the key after that it starts fine!? just wondering what this is beacuase of?
