Well I was driving to pick my son up and then hit an encounter with my water temp where it shot off the scale, to which I thought it wouldn't be an issue due to it not being a gradual increase. Either way I stopped to let it cool just incase, then love and behold my car won't start. So i got someone out to remove the immobiliser and it didn't work, it then just kicked into life after about 5 mins!

So i drove it home and then left it to cool down and went to check it again, NOTHING, not even a kiss my ass i aint gonna start!!!

So i got the missus to try and start it whilst i had a look under the bonnet, nothing, then the next time a spark!!! I wiggled the wire abit and it started up!!!

She turned it off tried again, NOTHING, not even a wiggle will get it started now. I have put a pic up below so you can see which wire, its the green and yellow one in the pic!!

Any idea's?

thats an earth, check the bolt is tight first.

you can remove the whole wire anway as its joined the the batery negative lead, i thinkj

theres 2 holes for the earths to fit on the box, 1 onm mine was stripped so ive used the back o9ne instead.

There are a couple of big earths onto the gearbox so these are always a good place to check with a starting problem.
