posted by  someone claiming to be storksb on  Fri Aug 27 13:25 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi All,

Having a very similar problenm for about 3 months on my V40.

It went into have a oil leak sorted, apparently the turbo return was leaking and spraying oil all over the transmission. They fixed the leak and cleaned the underside of the car, but almost evry day since I have the no start problem, full eletrics but no crank. I have found that if I out that by putting the ignition to key position 3 and moving the auto shifter backwards and forwards once or twice the car then starts.
Very Weird.

Will check the grounding cables tomorrow AM.

I have also just found that my reverse lights don't work, bulbs and fuse ok any ideas?

Thanks

Storksb
