Hi what year is it? There was a recent thread about this, but firstly check that all the leads are tight, and contacts clean.
Thanks will do Its a 1999 model Len
The other thread is here, take a look as there are some pics at post #4 showing the spade connector (starter trigger wire in the pic) which in my case was loose:

Thanks for the offer Ill let you know how II get on. I have a problem with the rear wheel The tyre is flat and the wheel nots have been put on by a Gorilla Ive noticed,that on two of the nuts there are chrome caps These seem to be a loose fit but I cant remove them Should they come off,to get to the nut also is it a 17mm I think the tyre has a puncture so it has to come off LenThe other thread is here, take a look as there are some pics at post #4 showing the spade connector (starter trigger wire in the pic) which in my case was loose:

PS how much do you want for the starter
A D4KGP says the std nuts are crap, if you check the wheel brace bag you may have what looks like a piece of plastic tube this is to remove the locking nut cover, if it's missing improvise!!. The nuts are 17mm but if any of the caps are missing you will need a smaller socket to fit.
Remember they are called quick fit fitters cos it takes them secs to do the nut up, but you mins, hours or days to undo.

Other tyre and exhaust’ centres are available, but most seem to share similar working practices 😂😂👍
Hello I managed to prise the caps after a lot of tr
Morning someone mentioned the name of a car insurer,but I am unable to find it on the forum emails
I forgot to ask what size socket fits over the chrome nut covers Ive managed to prize them off the one wheel ,before removing the nuts Also it looks like black leather on the seats,but when I try to register the car,there are just a load of codes,for the seat types
I ve just managed to remove the other rear wheel .This was to check how free they are and not too bad ,they did however use the same Gorilla to tighten them up Ive also ordered a set of new wheel nuts Len
I hope that you've ordered the solid type nut sold on ebay by: pe16carparts 08. Not more with the caps. Regards. D4KGP.
Roof problem the roof fails to fold down completely Ive seen videos,where a hood bar can be pressed to enable it to fold but not here Len
