  else attempted to start it. It turned over but would not start. I added about 3L of petrol today. Attempted to start it multiple times, including with jump leads as the battery got low. Turnover time was about 3 min in total. I assume that should have been plenty to get fuel up
• Daihatsu Skywing - Indicators cross-flashing 3 Mar 2023 (Forum)
  its something Earthy, I jumpered the Front light Earth terminal to bat -ve, and it started working, as did the wing bulb.  The cross-flashing also went away. The leads to the sidelight are now dead (were OK before) so I'll have to piggy-back it off the front light. Of course

  so I don't know what exactly would cause this. I should mention that apart from cutting out at idle, the engine could be restarted and still ran smoothly at normal engine speeds.

  won't work, then finally shoots up to about 1k revs and goes. I have given up on working the issue out, so passed it to my mechanic who is also bemused as to what is causing it. Sparks, coil and ht leads are all OK. New alternator and battery has been fitted.  O2 sensor and ECU maybe faulty

  to the starter solenoid has broken off. This is the area the mechanic worked on. The RAC guy says the starter motor may have to be replaced because it could be difficult to solder on a terminal to the stump of the terminal left, unless a lead wire is somehow soldered on instead.
