My Rover (auto) did this and it ended up being the crank sensor was fused

Replaced crank sensor and she has been happy ever since.

*knocks wood*

Thats interesting. Normally when a crank sensor goes the car just keeps cranking.
The sensor isn't part of the start circuit.

My car was put together by a certain SA operator who used to import Rovers ... Its anybody's guess what circuit it is on with my car

Davo's was built by the same place. You might be right.

New battery fixed the problem, I was confused as everything else worked fine, especially the headlights thery were bright and constant, fans and all the other stuff worked as it should, must be a cell gone so there was not enough grunt to turn over the starter, one less problem to give me a headache.

Had asshole tennants do a rinner on us and left me with a bill of about $20,000 in repairs, those pricks have more right than I do, Not happy Jan....They are up in Cairns now, stuffing up someone elses life....

Fixed.

Glad you got your car sorted... and I hear your pain on the other thing. I just coughed up $42,000 getting a house back to livable state after a tenant completely f__ked it all up. He was actually an ex Ausminier too whcih makes the whole thing even more sad. Did you have insurance. I had what I thought to be insurance, but when I called them they then told me that "it was considered malicious and nothing will be paid out"

C__nts.
