Ok folks this happens on an occasional basis, but as with most occasional
happenings it is never at a good time!

Get in car insert key in ignition switch turn key, idiot ligth comes on fuel
pump is working, but guess what?  The starter doesn't turn over.  A clicking
noise from the relay next to the fuse box is it.  Fiddle with the key a few
times and if I'm lucky the car will turn over.  If I'm not I lie down on the
passengers side and jump the terminal from the solenoid to the hot wire from
the battery an bingo she turns over.

Now the Prince of Darkness has got me here.  I realize this is something
electrical, ie not the starter motor per se. (Thank God, I've gone through
enough of those).  But I can't for the life of me figure it out.  It
happened again this morning.  I started the car warmed it up a bit pulled
out of the drive, parked the car, came back 5 minutes later and guess what
you got it no start.

So if any one has a brilliant or not so brilliant suggestion I will be happy
to take them...

Safety Fast !!!
