I posted earlier about a problem with my new Roadster. I thought I'd update.
For the first 7 days, it started without any trouble. For the next 4 days, it wouldn't start first try of the day. The instruments lit up but the engine wouldn't crank. No clicks from solenoid or relay. Eventually it started after repeated attempts. When running, it was fine. It went to the dealer for a few days & needless to say, started every time. The next day after getting it back, it failed to start again
However, the mechanic, after discussions with the factory, suspected the clutch pressure switch ( you have to have the clutch depressed to start the beast), even though it tested OK every time. So he had made up a shorting link to bypass the switch. When I fitted that, it went first time. This has happened once more with the same result, so it does look as if the pressure switch is the guilty party. So anyone having this problem, short out the switch!
It's circled in the picture, against the bulkhead.
