WHEN YOU DRIVE ALONG BEFORE YOU SWITCH IT OFF AND IT WON'T START, IS THERE ANY RED LIGHTS COMING ON IN THE DASH??

 

ALSO CHECK ALL YOU EARTHS TO THE ENGINE, BOX ETC. AND THE WIRING TO THE ALTERNATOR..

 

GET A VOLTS METER AND CHECK THE VOLTS ON THE BATTERY TO SEE WHAT IT IS AND WHEN STARTED CHECK THEM AGAIN. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TOLERANCES, BUT I'M SURE SOMEONE ON HERE WILL KNOW WHATS GOOD AND BAD IN THE VOLTS DEPARTMENT.

 

NOT SURE ABOUT THE MISSING, JUST GET ONE THING AT A TIME SORTED, MAYBE A HT LEAD BREAKDOWN
