LT35 won't start!

Probably the ignition switch. Had the same problem on a similar VW model. Actually, it'll be the big white 'terminal block' on the back of the switch. Give it wiggle and you'll probably find that it starts. Not expensive to get replaced.

Alternatively it could be the starter relay. No idea how to direct you to it on an LT35 I'm afraid.

Hi Al- thanks for that- i'll give the ignition switch a go in the morning- the crackling sound seems to be coming from the relays/ fusebox in the passenger footwell- so if one of those has something to do with ignition/starter then your second option could also be right- can't find any info anywhere about which relay is which though! -thank you for your help- much appreciated Mike

This forum has a LT section

Thanks Graham

Try cleaning the battery connections and make sure they are tight Des

Thanks - the battery and leads are brand new- actually i'm starting to think that the new battery might be duff- i borrowed a battery charger and it was showing as fully charged but then it blew the charger fuse- so i think there may be a problem- anyway the battery is going back to the shop today to be replaced so we'll see regards Mike

I doubt if Greg will be interested eight years later.
